The Lady Toppers, who claimed their third conference tournament title in five
seasons under Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard in 2016-17, are in the midst of one of
the most successful eras in program history. WKU has won 130 games over the last
five seasons and 84 in the last three seasons, a record for the most wins in a
three-year span by any C-USA team in the conference’s history.

The 2017-18 season will see WKU matched up against challenging opponents, including
a Nov. 14 home date against perennial power Notre Dame inside E.A. Diddle Arena. The
Lady Toppers will also battle Power 5 opponents Missouri and Indiana on the road and
will compete in three in-season tournaments, including the 2017 Hawkeye Challenge to
open the season, Georgia State’s Thanksgiving Tournament and the West Palm
Invitational in mid-December.

Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams will be in action on Friday, Oct. 13 for
the annual Hilltopper Hysteria event inside E.A. Diddle Arena. Presented by local
McDonald’s, Hilltopper Hysteria will feature individual player and coach
introductions for both teams, scrimmages, a shooting stars challenge and
entertainment from the WKU Spirit Squad. Parking and admission are free for the
annual event.
