Lady Lions Ready to Start Season

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Lady Lions will hit the court this weekend for the first time this season in an exhibition game against Bloomsburg. They return to the Bryce Jordan Center on Sunday for a 2 p.m. tip.

After finishing last year with a 12-19 record, the Lady Lions are looking to improve upon on that, and head coach Coquese Washington is looking at the freshman to make an immediate impact.

"I've been really impressed with our freshman so far. They picked up things really, really quickly," Washington said. "They've acclimated themselves very quickly and when I look at the two of them, including [transfer] De'Janae Boykin who hasn't played college basketball and [redshirt sophomore] Amari Carter who really hasn't either, I think our young guards will be a big impact on the floor.
