QU women's basketball team shooting way to Hawaii with Free Throw-A-Thon

Spending Christmas in Hawaii doesn't seem like a bad way to start the holidays. Coach Courtney Boyd's team leaves Dec. 16 for Hawaii and plays two games against Columbus State (Ga.) on Dec. 21 and host school Hawaii-Hilo on Dec. 22 in the D2 Women's Big Island Classic before returning home after that game. The two games are exempt meaning they don't count against QU's 28-game regular season schedule. Boyd said the trip originated out of conversations she had with Truman State Coach Theo Dean.
