TOURNAMENT HOMEPAGE | TOURNAMENT DIGITAL PROGRAM | WATCH

TOWSON, Md. - The Goucher College women's basketball program and the athletic department will host the inaugural Renie Amoss Memorial Tip-Off Classic this Friday and Saturday, November 12-13, at the Decker Sports and Recreation Center on the Goucher campus.

This weekend's tournament is being held in honor of Corene "Renie" Amoss '93.  A three-sport standout at Goucher, Amoss accumulated 2,220 career points on the hardwood and was also a standout in field hockey and tennis.  Renie died in a car accident two weeks after her Goucher graduation.

Admission each day is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for children 5-17 and Goucher faculty, staff and students with their Goucher ID are admitted free.

For 27 years, the "Renie Amoss Memorial Run/Walk" was held each October on the Goucher campus.  Proceeds benefited the Corene Amoss Memorial Trust which has granted 79 awards to Goucher students.  The awards were presented after the annual Race which had become a tradition during the Family Weekend and the athletic homecoming.  The COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible to run the 2020 race on campus. 

2021 marks the end of the Renie Race leaving us many great memories, but the beginning of the Renie Amoss Memorial Tip-Off Classic.  This year's award recipients will be honored following the conclusion of Saturday's first game between Gettysburg and Hiram that tips off at 2 pm.

On Friday, Goucher faces Hiram at 5:30, while Gettysburg takes on 20th-ranked Christopher Newport at 7:30.  On Saturday, after Gettysburg and Hiram face off at 2, the Gophers play CNU at 4 pm.
