DENTON – The North Texas women's basketball team returns to the Super Pit Wednesday morning to host Houston Christian in its annual Education Day. Tipoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT.
The Mean Green (1-1) return home after splitting their opening two contests, defeating Newman 101-48 in the season opener before falling 73-57 on the road at defending Mountain West champion San Diego State.
Sophomore guard Cherie Spencer has paced the Mean Green through two games, averaging 16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists per contest.

Senior forward Otaifo Esenabhalu has also made an immediate impact, averaging 13.5 rebounds per game, including a career-high-tying 18 in the opener. The Longwood transfer enters Wednesday just eight rebounds shy of 800 for her collegiate career.
Houston Christian (1-2) enters Wednesday following an 84-43 loss to Abilene Christian. The Huskies are averaging 52.3 points per game, led by Jordan Jackson's 9.5 points per contest. North Texas won the only previous meeting between the programs, 100-75, on Dec. 5, 2018.
