Women's Basketball Goes for
NCAA Record Tomorrow

Both UNK Teams Host RMAC Tournament Games

            Kearney, NE — The University of Nebraska at Kearney men's and women's basketball teams begin postseason play tomorrow night with RMAC Tournament first round games.

            The 7^th-ranked women (24-2, 17-2 RMAC) host rival Fort Hays State (15-14, 10- 9 RMAC) at 6:00 p.m. Southern Colorado (16-10, 11-8 RMAC) plays the Loper men (20-5, 15-4 RMAC) at 8:00 p.m. The winner of each game advances to the Mile High Shootout, to be held Friday and Saturday in Denver.

            Due to the contests being a RMAC sponsored events, season ticket holders will also have to pay for the games. Cost is $ 6.00 for adults and $ 3.00 for children/students with ID. The first 200 UNK students will get in for only $ 1.00, thanks to the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC).

            A NCAA record could be broken as the women shoot for the Division II mark for consecutive home victories. UNK last lost at home on January 25, 1995 (Northern State, 79-71). Since then, the Lopers have reeled off 85 straight wins, tying the division mark of West Texas A & M.

            Hays, which fell to UNK twice this year, hasn't won in Kearney since the 1990-91 season, a span of 10 games. Over the last seven contests at UNK, the Tigers haven't gotten within 12 points of the Lopers with the average margin of victory being 24 points (81-57). However, the Tigers still lead the all-time series (33-25) and have handed Loper head coach Amy Stephens four of her 12 all-time RMAC losses.
