'Belles start basketball season with LSC title on mind

Eight returning players will be joined by a talented freshman class to try to get the team back to the top of the LSC and the South Central Region. ASU opens the 2009-10 season tonight at home against St. Edward’s. Tip off is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Junell Center.

Gerlich came away from Sunday's opener before 790 fans at the First United Bank Center happy with what she saw. The Lady Buffs forced 27 turnovers of which they converted into 28 points en route to a 59-50 triumph.

Ligon Coliseum. The Mustangs will play in the Skyhawk Classic in Durango, Colo., this weekend facing Western State on Friday and Fort Lewis on Saturday. They return home on Nov. 29 for a 2 p.m. game against Northeastern State.

Hagen and Mustangs answered the bell after NCAA Division III Trinity chiseled away at a one-time, 12-point Mustang lead to tie the contest at 45-45 on a Ryan Beall jumper with 8:42 to play.
