Anchor Drop, November 6, 2023: Women’s basketball season opener

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

College basketball is back. Vanderbilt’s men’s team doesn’t open the season until Tuesday night, but the women’s team takes the floor at Memorial Gym today at 11 AM CT against Kennesaw State. Shea Ralph’s third season at Vanderbilt will look to improve on the 12-19 record posted last season. Per the release, the Commodores have four players back who played last season, and also return Jordyn Cambridge and Iyana Moore from injuries. Today’s game will be streamed on the SEC Network+.

Women’s tennis closed out its fall schedule by sweeping seven matches for the second consecutive day at the Auburn Invite. They’ll now be off until the spring, when the “traditional” season starts.
