The West Virginia University women’s basketball team will host Concord University in an exhibition game on Tuesday, November 1, at Robert C. Byrd High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia. A tipoff time will be announced at a later date.

 

Admission to the contest will be $5 for adults and $3 for children, with all of the net proceeds benefiting families affected by the flooding in southern West Virginia.

 

The Mountaineers recently completed a visit to Rainelle, West Virginia, to assist with the flood recovery efforts. During their visit, WVU removed personal items, debris, as well as water-logged walls and flooring from a pair of homes.

 

“Our visit to Rainelle was an eye-opening experience,” said coach Mike Carey, who is entering his 16th season as the Mountaineers’ head coach. “Our team got a first-hand look at all the damage caused by the terrible flooding in June. It really opened their eyes and helped us bond together as a team. I am so proud of our team. The flood victims are still in need of assistance and this was another way we thought we could help.”

 

In addition to the visit to Rainelle, WVU women’s basketball has assisted with donating supplies and money to the victims.

 

West Virginia finished the 2015-16 campaign with a 25-10 overall mark and a 12-6 record for a third-place finish in the Big 12. The Mountaineers reached the postseason for a 10th consecutive year and made the NCAA Tournament for the 11th time in program history.

 

WVU’s complete nonconference schedule will be announced in the next few days.
