The Lobo women’s basketball team will be taking on out-of-conference opponent Fairleigh Dickinson this Saturday in its season home opener at WisePies Arena at 2 p.m.

Head coach Mike Bradbury expects the Lobos to play well in the team’s home opener, but also expects a challenge.

“They bring back three starters and they play a completely different style,” Bradbury said. “It'll be a test and we're looking forward to it.”

Fairleigh Dickinson, a Division I school out of the Northeast Conference, is coming off a losing season last year, when it posted an 11-21 record and went 8-10 in conference play.
