ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - In its final tune-up before starting the season on Nov. 16 at Colorado, the UCF women's basketball team will host DT3 in an exhibition contest Saturday morning at 11 a.m. in the UCF Arena.
Head coach Joi Williams has been getting the Knights set for the 2008-09 season, her second at the helm of the UCF program. The squad is led by the return of eight sophomores who formed part of a group that played a nation-leading 91 percent of the team's minutes as freshmen.
Emma Cannon (Rochester, N.Y.), Marshay White (Rochester, N.Y.) and D'Nay Daniels (Atlanta, Ga.) lead the returners after averaging 11.7, 11.6 and 10.2 points per game respectively last season. The team also welcomes two transfers and three freshmen to the program.
The DT3 exhibition travel team was formed in August of 2005 in Tallahassee, FL. DT3 is a women's traveling exhibition team that competes against the nation's top collegiate programs during the NCAA Division I exhibition season.
Do not miss your first chance to see the Knights in action this season. The game is free of charge for all fans and will take place prior to the UCF-Southern Miss Homecoming football game, set to kickoff at 3:30 p.m.
After the opener at Colorado, UCF will host Florida A&M in the home opener at UCF Arena on Friday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.
