Wichita State women’s basketball showed off a frenetic pace as the team disrupted any sense of offense by Division II Northeastern State University on Wednesday night.

The Shockers won the season-opening exhibition game, 81-46.

“We played a little bit faster this year to showcase our new people,” head coach Terry Nooner said. “Get all our players a chance to play in front of a crowd.”

The new identity showed almost immediately as the Shockers forced a five-second inbounding violation on Northeastern within the first 30 seconds of the game.
