The first hurdle in achieving that goal will come this weekend, as the Belles play Franklin and Hanover on back-to-back days in the annual Tip-Off Classic.
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is also scheduled to play in this weekend's tournament, but is not scheduled to play the Belles.
The Hanover Panthers hail from Southern Indiana. They finished last season with a 13-13 mark, led by 15.4 points per game from Angela Newkirk. They skirted by the Belles with a 68-65 win in last year's tournament, which was hosted by Rose-Hulman.

"It was three-point game last year, a game we could have won." The Franklin Grizzlies are the defending champions of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference and finished last season with a 23-5 record, including a 55-48 win over the Belles. Led by Lindsay Roberson, the Grizzlies advanced to the second round of the Division III tournament before losing to Wilmington 75-50.
