Maroon and Cream Set to Open Season at Anderson Classic

ALMA, Mich. – The Alma College women’s basketball team makes its 2006-07 debut this weekend at the Anderson Invitational Tip-Off Classic in Anderson, Ind.

Friday, Nov. 17, the Scots will face the host Ravens at 8 p.m.

Last season, the Ravens went 16-11 while the Scots went 13-12 on the year.

The Scots are a young squad this season, led by senior Emily Niemi (Skandia/Gwinn) and junior Ashley Matuzak (Saginaw/Nouvel Catholic). Matuzak earned honorable mention All-MIAA honors last season and is the returner with the most on-court experience.

”Pre-season practices have allowed us to figure out some things about our team, but we’re really excited about getting out on the court and getting the job done,” said head coach Charlie Goffnett. “Though we’re young, the girls have been working very hard in practice and we’re all anxious for Friday.”
