WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — William & Mary women's basketball returns home Sunday afternoon to host Towson in a CAA rematch at Kaplan Arena. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m., with the game streamed on FloCollege and televised on MASN.
The Tribe (12–10, 5–6 CAA) looks to build on its 52–51 road victory over the Tigers on Feb. 6, while Towson enters at 14–10 overall and 7–5 in conference play. Sunday's contest marks the 45th all-time meeting between the programs, with William & Mary holding a 24–20 series advantage.
• Clear Bag Policy and Metal Detectors
Furthering its commitment to a first class and secure environment at home athletic events, William & Mary will implement the use of walk-through metal detectors at the entrances to athletic venues (both ticketed and non-ticketed events) beginning in the fall of 2025. This enhanced security method mirrors standard practice at most major professional and intercollegiate athletic events throughout the country and compliments the Clear Bag Policy already in place. Fans will proceed through metal detectors prior to having their tickets scanned or entering a venue for non-tickets events. Entrants will not need to remove items such as belts, cell phones, coins, jackets, jewelry, watches, wallets, shoes or other small objects. If additional screening is necessary, security staff will ask the individual to proceed to a secondary screening area, where they will be asked to divest themselves of certain items and pass through again until clear.
