A year ago, the Lady Rebels finished 9-9 in the Mountain West..
This year, they have confidence they can improve on that, despite losing their point guard Nikki Wheatley to a season-ending knee injury earlier this month.
The Lady Rebels will begin conference play Thursday, starting off their Mountain West schedule with a game against Colorado State.
“Last year we were able to kind of end with some success toward the end which was exciting for us and made us even hungrier for this season and this conference play so really, we’re looking forward to improve that standing and we definitely feel good that we can do that,” junior Dakota Gonzalez said.
