Without the full offseason training program, the fast-paced full court pressing Simpson women’s basketball team will not have much time to get into full game shape before the season starts on January 16th. Head coach Brian Niemuth tells KNIA Sports his team has as hard as ever to get into game shape, but what they will look like at game speed is yet to be seen.

“You never know until you get out there for the first game, the intensity goes up and you have players tired out there. That is a major part of how we play, so I’m real curious to see what kind of shape we are in. I hope we are in good enough shape, but we’ll see.”

The Storm begin their season January 16th at Buena Vista.
