MIAMI (Oct. 16, 2020) – The FIU women's basketball team held its first official practice of the 2020 season under new head coach Jesyka Burks-Wiley on Friday afternoon.
The energetic practice lasted a little over two and a half hours at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center.
Burks-Wiley's first squad on 8th Street is a blend of transfers and returnees eager to make a name for themselves in the Conference USA.
FIU enters its first season in the Burks-Wiley era, as she becomes the eighth coach in the program's history. Burks-Wiley joins the Panthers after spending the past three seasons as an assistant coach with the South Florida Bulls.
