Lady Tiger Basketball opens home portion of schedule against Davis & Elkins on Saturday

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — In the 11 years Ginger High Colvin has been the head coach, her squad has produced home-opening wins in 10 of those contests. The Lady Tigers look to extend that to 11-straight on Saturday as NCAA Division II foe Davis and Elkins College travels to the Powell Athletic Center.

Tipoff between the Lady Tigers and Senators is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Fans can tune into 88.7 The Tiger and CampbellsvilleTigers.com/watch beginning at 12:45.
