Growl Game Time


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if the womens game time will be changed as well? It would make sense so that the early arriving mens crowd can provide some late game enthusiasm for the womens game as they have for the last few years. Not to mention it would be most convenient for those of us who will attend both games.
