Quoting Coach John Williamson "This will be a good early test for us. We are still trying to figure out our best lineup combinations and we spent a lot of time over the past two weeks on spare conversions. It will also be good to get Samantha Hesley into the lineup after she got the green light from the NCAA earlier this week."
Travel Challenge The Commodores arrived at Nashville's airport Thursday morning expecting a direct flight into New York City that would have them landing about 1:30 p.m. Instead they found out the flight was canceled and they would need to fly through Atlanta, getting into the Big Apple during rush hour. The change of flights meant the team would miss its scheduled practice at the Howell center.
