Women’s basketball splits opening week

After a disappointing opening-night loss, the Golden Hurricane bounces back to start the season 1-1. Women’s basketball is finally back, although the University of Tulsa struggled to make a splash their opening week. Their opener against Incarnate Word was a back-and-forth battle which eventually saw TU unable to close out their lead in the final minutes, but against Rogers State the Golden Hurricanes quickly ran out ahead of the Hillcats and stayed ahead for an impressive 27-point victory. With a long season ahead, hopefully the Golden Hurricane can learn from its early tumble against Incarnate Word and tack a sixth straight winning season to head coach Angie Nelp’s record. She is the first coach at TU to have a winning record in her first five seasons, and after this week she now sits second all-time with 96 victories, only behind Matilda Mossman who won 119 in her 10 years at TU.
