The Missouri Western women’s Basketball Team was selected 10th in the preseason MIAA Women’s Basketball Coaches Poll. Emporia State received the most votes in the poll followed by Pittsburg State and Washburn.
The Griffons are coming off a 10-16 record and a 5-14 mark in MIAA play that left them 13th in the conference standings and out of the MIAA tournament. A host of newcomers join a handful of returners on a squad that head coach Rob Edmisson expects to be much improved.
Missouri Western will open the season in SEC country with an exhibition game at the University of Missouri before two games at the Quincy Classic. The Griffons first home game will be on Nov. 20 when they host Rockhurst in the MWSU Fieldhouse.
