SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - The Shippensburg University basketball teams will be traveling west this weekend to renew its rivalries with two familiar opponents in the second of two conference-mandated crossover doubleheaders. The Raiders will take on Indiana (Pa.) at 1 and 3 p.m. this Saturday before taking on California (Pa.) at 1 and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Both games on Saturday and Sunday are scheduled for broadcast on Shippensburg student radio station WSYC-FM (88.7), available for listening online here. The only reason for the broadcasts to not go off as scheduled is if the board operators are unable to make it to the station due to the expected Winter weather that will strike the Cumberland Valley this weekend.
