The UK Women’s basketball team kicked off its season against Union University in its only exhibition game before beginning the saeson on Friday against Rice University. The Cats put on an impressive offensive display in their first outing of the season, beating the Lady Bulldogs 95-63.

It was the Cats’ defense that set the tone early in the first half. The size advantage was noticeable and an advantage for UK. The Lady Bulldogs made only one two-point field-goal in the first half, and only made eight of their 20 three-point attempts in the first half.
