The clinic deals with all levels for players and coaches.

The Loyola Marymount women’s basketball team, having equaled its victory total of last season at five, is in the midst of an eight-game home stand that will bring Weber State (2-4) to Gersten Pavilion tonight and Hawaii on Saturday. Both begin at 5 p.m. Freshmen guards Kristen Bruich and Lynn Flanagan pace the 5-2 Lions with scoring averages of 11.3 and 11.1. Freshman center Tricia Gibson leads in rebounding with a 6.4 average.

Coach Todd Corman, whose team is off to the best start in its history, said, “Right now we’re not really playing as well as I think we’re capable of, but it’s nice to be getting in that victory column more often than in the past.”

The Cal State Dominguez Hills women’s basketball team will play host to Cal State Hayward at 7:30 tonight and UC Santa Barbara at 7:30 Monday in non-conference games. The Lady Toros (2-5) are playing a monthlong home stand after playing six of their games on the road. Hayward is 3-4.
