Poudre School Day Highlights Colorado State's Season Opener
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The wait is nearly over for the Colorado State women's basketball team in starting the 2019-20 campaign as the Rams welcome Chadron State Tuesday at 11 a.m. along with over 2,500 children for the Poudre School District Day at Moby Arena.
The season lid lifter is the first game of three in the Rams' queue for the week. Colorado State travels across town to Northern Colorado on Friday, and then is back home hosting Western Colorado on Sunday.
Coach's Corner
• Head Coach Ryun Williams enters his eighth year at the helm with a 144-80 (.643) overall record – the winningest coach in CSU history.
On the season opener and Poudre School District Day…
"The school district game is one of the more fun games we play in Moby Arena all year long. It is a very energetic, exciting day, and we look forward to competing in it. We are just ready to get this season going. Our student-athletes have worked hard in the preseason and I think they are excited to see where we can take this thing. It all gets started tomorrow at 11 a.m. and hope to see everyone there. We are ready to go."
