"Our schedule has us playing 5 different regions throughout the country, ranging from Indiana to Texas," says Walker. Facing some of the best competition from around the nation will prepare the Lady Raiders for a tough conference season, which includes match-ups against powerhouse Gulf Coast and defending national champions, Tallahassee.
