HOUSTON – After playing their first four games away from home, the Houston Baptist women's basketball team finally return home to the friendly confines of Sharp Gym, as the Huskies host the third-annual Husky Classic this Fri. and Sat., Nov. 25-26.

HBU's (0-4) latest setback came at UTEP on Nov. 19, as Shanice Steenholdt earned her first double-double in her collegiate career, tying the game-high mark of 18 points and grabbing a game-high 14 rebounds, but the Huskies lost to the Miners, 82-53. The Huskies went on a 14-0 run to end the game.
