Sep 14, 2017 | 3:00 PM

MEDICINE HAT, AB — There’s no reason the MHC Rattlers women’s basketball team shouldn’t be prepared for the regular season.

Head coach Clayton Nielsen, entering his second year at the helm, is putting together a heavier exhibition schedule compared to previous years.

The Rattlers will play a friendly match against Mount Royal University on Friday night at Hat High’s new gymnasium at 5:00pm, along with three games at SAIT at the end of the month.

The MRU Cougars play in the CIS, a step above the Rattlers ACAC league, giving the local ladies an added test ahead of the regular season which begins October 20th.
