Open practice, chalk talks, and behind-the-bench sessions

Open practice and pre- and post-game events have been scheduled.

There will be an open practice session in Maples Pavilion on Monday, October 24 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. After an hour or so of informal practice, Tara will introduce all the players and staff. Enter through the NW or SW doors at Maples, pick up a roster, and help yourself to open seating.

Pre-game chalk talks will be held in Kissick Auditorium before every regular season home game, from November 11 thru February 12. The scouting film is projected starting 45 minutes before the game, then Kate or Tempie gives a brief preview and answers questions.

Two "Behind the Bench" sessions, at which new players are introduced and Tara discusses the game and answers questions, have been scheduled:

• In Maples on November 4 after the exhibition game against UC San Diego.
• In Dallmar Court on December 4 after the UC Davis game.

Additional sessions are to be determined.
