PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) men's basketball team returns to the hardwood tonight in their regular season debut. The Hawks open up on the road against the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams at The Stuart C. Siegel Center in Richmond, Virginia. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 pm.

Tonight marks the debut of Interim Head Coach Meredith Smith for the Hawks. Smith has been with the team as an assistant coach over the past three seasons. UMES went just 4-27 last season, and face a talented team on opening night. The VCU Rams won a program-best 28 games a year ago, including a victory over Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
