    WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – The West Liberty University women's basketball team tips off the 2020-21 season at home tonight when Coach Kyle Cooper's Lady Hilltoppers welcome Notre Dame to the ASRC.
    Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. In accordance with Mountain East Conference safe competition guidelines, no spectators will be permitted.
    After graduating a pair of 1,000-point scorers in Taylor Johnson and Morgan Brunner, West Liberty is looking to a solid returning nucleus and strong recruiting class to get their long-awaited season off to a flying start.
    Notre Dame checked in at No. 2 and picked up a pair of first-place votes in this week's MEC coaches' preseason poll. Head coach Lauren Macer is the reigning MEC Coach of the Year, coming off a 26-win season capped by the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth.
    Coach Cooper took time out of his pre-game preparations to offer a video preview. Click on the photo above to hear his assessment.
    Hilltopper fans will still be able to follow the Black and Gold online through a variety of platforms. Topper Station will once again be live-streaming all home games from its website along with providing a live telecast for Xfinity cable subscribers on WLTV-14. Topper Station will also be carrying live streams on its YouTube, Facebook and Twitter pages.
