CWU Women's Basketball Heads to Idaho for CCAA-GNAC Crossover

The Central Washington University women’s basketball team begins its regular-season road schedule on Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, travelling to the Johnson Sports Center in Nampa, Idaho, for the CCAA-GNAC Crossover hosted by Northwest Nazarene University, according to Central Washington University Athletics.

The Wildcats head south following a 2-1 start at the CWU D2 Tip-Off Classic inside Nicholson Arena over Halloween weekend. Central Washington University Athletics reported that the team opened with a 74-65 loss to Minnesota State Moorhead before rebounding with a 70-52 win over Midwestern State and a 71-58 victory over 24th-ranked UT Tyler.

Freshman Amaya Jarvis scored 22 points in her collegiate debut against Minnesota State Moorhead, while Capri Sims led the Wildcats with 23 points in the win over UT Tyler. Head Coach Randi Richardson noted the upcoming games will test her roster.

“Both Humboldt and East Bay will be two great challenges for us out of the gate. Both teams play very hard and very well coached. It’ll be a great opportunity for our team to continue to be challenged in new ways and be able to continue to grow.”

Richardson told Central Washington University Athletics.
