Colorado Snow Grounds Wisconsin School, Alters PLU Classic

Heavy snowfall in the Denver, Colo., area has grounded numerous air travelers, including the UW-Oshkosh women's basketball team that was scheduled to participate at the PLU Classic on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 29-30, in Olson Auditorium.

The Titans left Oshkosh for the four-team tournament on Thursday (Dec. 28), but several feet of snow and hazardous conditions in Denver cancelled the team's flight from Milwaukee to Denver. The team was unable to acquire air transportation to the Tacoma area that bypassed Denver.

Because the Titans are unable to travel, the PLU Classic schedule will change. Instead of four games over two days, only two games will be played. On Friday, George Fox University (from Newberg, Ore.) will play Thompson Rivers University (from Kamloops, B.C.) at 5 p.m. as scheduled. On Saturday, PLU will host Thompson Rivers, starting at 5 p.m.
