Women's Basketball Southern Conference

Wofford Women's Basketball Releases 2004-05 Schedule

The Wofford women's basketball program and head coach Edgar I. Farmer Jr. have released their 2004-05 schedule. Highlights to this year's edition include a trip to Birmingham, Ala., for the Sheraton Roundball Classic and a date at ACC power North Carolina.

"We feel comfortable with our schedule this year as it will allow us to be competitive in every game," Farmer said. "The non-conference schools are solid regional opponents. The Southern Conference, once again, will be tough."

The Terriers will open the season with two of three games at home before Thanksgiving. Wofford will play Coker (Nov. 19) and Southern Virginia (Nov. 24) in the Benjamin Johnson Arena, as the facility celebrates its 25th year this season. In the midst of the opening week, the Terriers will also play at UNC Wilmington (Nov. 22).

The weekend after the holiday, the squad will travel to Birmingham, Ala., for the inaugural Sheraton Roundball Classic. Wofford will face host Birmingham-Southern (Nov. 27) before matching up against Samford (Nov. 28).

For the second year in a row, Wofford will travel to Chapel Hill, N.C., to face North Carolina. This year's date is slated for Dec. 1, as Farmer returns to his alma mater.

A pair of home league games are next on the docket. The Terriers will host Davidson (Dec. 4) and Western Carolina (Dec. 8) to open SoCon action.

A Dec. 11 meeting at UNC Asheville opens a three-game road swing and marks the final non-conference matchup of the season. Also included in the road contests are dates at East Tennessee State (Dec. 18) and Chattanooga (Dec. 20) before the Christmas holiday.

After the holiday, Wofford returns to the Benjamin Johnson Arena for a Dec. 30 game against UNC Greensboro before hosting Elon (Jan. 2) after the turn of the new year.

The Terriers will then play three of their next four games away from home, beginning with a Jan. 5 contest at Furman. Appalachian State arrives in Spartanburg Jan. 10 before Wofford heads to Georgia Southern (Jan. 15) and College of Charleston (Jan. 17).

East Tennessee State (Jan. 22) and Chattanooga (Jan. 24) make their way to Spartanburg next before the Terriers play at Elon (Jan. 29). Wofford then plays three of its next four games at home, including Feb. 1 versus Furman and against Georgia Southern (Feb. 12) and College of Charleston (Feb. 14) to close out its home slate. In between the Furman and Georgia Southern contests, the Terriers travel to Boone, N.C., to face Appalachian State (Feb. 7).

Wofford will wrap up its regular season with three consecutive road games. Dates at Davidson (Feb. 19), Western Carolina (Feb. 21) and UNC Greensboro (Feb. 26) await the Terriers.

Beginning March 2, Wofford will compete in the 2005 Southern Conference Tournament in Chattanooga, Tenn. The event runs the championship game March 5.

All times will be announced at a later date.
