Women's basketball kicks off season with home exhibition
Their English may have been lacking, but the players on Spartak Prerov, a women's basketball team from the Czech Republic, sure knew how to play the game created and made a success by Americans. On a road trip that takes them to 10 different campuses in the Northeast, the Czechs spoiled the home opener of the Dartmouth women's team by defeating the Big Green 67-64 in an exhibition game that came down to the closing seconds. Spartak Prerov's three straight airballs to open the game, and Dartmouth's turnovers indicated opening jitters on both sides.
