REYNOLDS COLISEUM/RALEIGH N.C. State gets its first challenge of the season from a team that played in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament last season.
And there’s a championship on the line, as it’s the final game of the Sheraton Raleigh Wolfpack Invitational.
The consolation game is a barnburner, as Florida International escapes a determined Western Michigan team 64-61 in overtime.
First-year Wolfpack coach Kellie Harper is looking for her 99th career victory in the title game against Vermont. The young coach, an accomplished fashionista, has broken out the red tonight. She was in a pastel gray for the season opener against FIU, but a championship game against a team that won over 20 games last season is extra-special.
Sharon Dawley’s Catamounts turn out to be a very organized, well-oiled bunch and eventually holds on to win the championship 52-47. Continue reading »

REYNOLDS COLISEUM/RALEIGH Kellie Harper said when she became the head women’s basketball coach at N.C. State she wanted to put her own personal stamp on the program.
That’s what the former Western Carolina coach and Tennessee point guard - who led the Lady Vols to three NCAA titles - needed to do in the wake of replacing the legendary Kay Yow, who died last January after a 22-year fight with breast cancer.
Tonight she leads her veteran team against Florida International, which rolled the Wolfpack 58-42 last season in Miami, in the nightcap of the Sheraton Raleigh Wolfpack Invitational. It’s the second straight season the Wolfpack has opened with a four-team tournament on Kay Yow Court.
Vermont wins the opener over Western Michigan 79-65 and will play in the championship on Saturday night at 6:30.
The Catamounts will be playing the Wolfpack for the title, since State wins a very odd game 87-71.
