2013-14 Schedule
Fourteen home games, regional rivalries, a trip to Florida and a Big East opponent are all part of the 2013-14 Murray State women's basketball schedule that was announced by head coach Rob Cross on Wednesday.
"We have a put together a very competitive schedule," said Cross. "This schedule is going be a challenge for our team in that it has a balance of quality home games and some difficult road trips in the non-conference portion. With programs from top ten RPI leagues coming into the CFSB Center, I hope our fans appreciate the effort that went into making this schedule. When conference play rolls around in late December, we should have seen everything we need to see to get our team ready for the rigors of the always tough Ohio Valley Conference."
