@NKUNorseWBB hosts Berea College in Election Day exhibition

 HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky's women's basketball team is set to host Berea College in its lone exhibition game prior to kicking off the 2016-17 season. The Norse will welcome the Mountaineers into BB&T Arena at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
 
Norse Notes
  • Though not a regular-season matchup, the Norse enter Tuesday's game with a 3-0 all-time record against Berea. The last time the two teams played in an official game was in the 1976-77 season, when the Norse earned an 83-38 win over the Mountaineers.
  • The Northern Kentucky women's basketball team welcomed its fifth head coach in program history on May 6 with the announcement of Camryn Whitaker at the helm of the program for the 2016-17 season. Whitaker assembled a vibrant, young staff of coaches that includes 2001 Mr. Kentucky Basketball, Josh Carrier, along with Kayla Bowlin and Matt Stine.
  • The staff is one of the youngest in NCAA Division I with an average age of 29.5 years old, which is the youngest in the Horizon League and the fifth-youngest in the nation.
  • NKU was picked to finish sixth in the Horizon Poll, according to the preseason poll of coaches, media members and sports information directors.
  • NKU women's basketball has a rich tradition with 33 consecutive winning seasons, including two Division II National Championships.
  • The Norse return a Horizon League All-Freshman selection in Molly Glick as well as HL All-Tournament honoree Kasey Uetrecht in the upcoming season. Glick started in 30 games during her rookie campaign, averaging 6.6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. Uetrecht, a junior this season, was the second-leading scorer for the Norse in the 2015-16 season, putting up 11.8 points per game while pulling down a team-high 5.7 rebounds a contest.
  • NKU's roster features three true freshmen in Hannah Clark, Hayley Combs and Laura Thomas. Redshirt-freshman Taryn Taugher will also be making her first appearance in the Gold and Black this year after sitting out the 2015-16 season.
