The women's game begins at 1 p.m. and the men's follows at 3 p.m. The reception runs from 2 to 3 p.m. in Endowment Hall of the Matthaei Physical Education Building.

The women's team is positioning itself as a conference power under new head coach Karen Hall.

Admission includes tickets to the games, reserved seating, appetizers, parking and a chance at winning several door prizes. The program also will include remarks by Athletic Director Bob Brennan.
