LADY BRONCS SET OPEN PRACTICE, MEDIA DAY

EDINBURG, TX-The University of Texas-Pan American women's basketball team is having an open practice Tuesday afternoon-and everyone is invited.

The Lady Broncs will conduct an open practice Tuesday afternoon, November 11th at 3:30 p.m. at the UTPA Fieldhouse. The practice will be held in conjunction with the Lady Broncs' annual Media Day.

"We're going to allow people to come in and get a sideline view of what goes on in the life of an everyday student-athlete," said UTPA Head Coach DeAnn Craft. "It gives them the chance to interact with our student-athletes on an up close and personal basis, and see how much effort goes into a collegiate practice. We're going to do a variety of skill breakdown drills, we'll do some position drills, and we'll do some live situational scrimmages. That will give those who want to come out a chance to see us up close and personal."

The Lady Broncs open their season at the Air Force Classic November 21st.
