Women's Basketball 2016-17 Schedule Release

CCBC Dundalk women's basketball enters the 2016-17 season optimistic and upbeat, after not participating last season.

First year head coach Rick Armijo will be at the helm and is focused on fielding a team that makes Lions' fans proud to watch.

"The Lady Lions are excited that we will be able to compete this season," Armijo said. "Our main goal this season is to re-establish a respectable and competitive program at CCBC Dundalk. We are very young and lack some depth, but we are excited to be fielding a team.

"As a first year college basketball coach, I anticipate some challenges, but I have an enthusiastic and energetic coaching staff that is committed. We have a great group of young ladies that are willing to work hard and that's all we can ask for heading into the season."
