ERIE, Pa. --  Mercyhurst College Athletics announces a change of venue for the women's basketball game on Friday, November 20.  The Lakers, who were originally scheduled to play at Salem International, will now host the Tigers at 5 p.m. on Friday.

The change is a result of a facilities conflict at Salem International.

This is the first time in program history that the two teams will meet.  Mercyhurst enters with an 0-1 record after dropping its season-opener 66-56 to West Virginia Wesleyan while Salem International will play its first game of the 2009-10 season.
