Lady Jackets to Open New Year in Hawaii (December 31, 2002)

BILLINGS, MT – The MSU Billings women’s basketball team will play January 2 and 3 at a tournament in Laie, HI.  The Lady Jackets will face Seattle University on January 2 and Alaska-Fairbanks on January 3.  Both games will be broadcast live in Billings on AM 970 KBUL, and on the internet at www.msubillings.edu/athletics.

The Yellowjackets are 10-2 after a pair of wins at Western Oregon last week.  Those wins followed a 77-69 win at Northwest Nazarene on December 20.  NNU was ranked 3rd in the West Region at the time.  The Yellowjackets were No. 7.

Both games in Hawaii will be important West Region games for the Yellowjackets, who have built a 9-1 record within the region.  Seattle enters the tournament with a 5-3 record while Alaska-Fairbanks is 4-3.  MSU Billings will need to finish the season ranked in the top eight in the West Region to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

Tip-off for Thursday’s game against Seattle is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. MST.  Friday’s match-up with Alaska-Fairbanks will start at 7:00 p.m. MST.

MSU Billings will return home to host Carroll College on January 10 and Montana Tech on January 20.
