LOGAN, Utah - Utah State women's basketball took advantage of the beautiful Logan weather last weekend to clean up the community.

New USU head coach Jerry Finkbeiner along with his staff and players took to Logan Canyon on Saturday, Sept. 8 for a community service project. After an afternoon of paint ball as a team building experience, the Aggie women's basketball players removed trash and debris from the canyon roadside.

Coach Finkbeiner and his staff look to make community service a crucial part of the Aggie women's basketball program. This is the first of several community service projects for the USU women's team this year.

The new women's basketball staff began in May of 2012, with Finkbeiner adding Micha Thompson and Robert Donaldson. Assistant coach Stu Sells begins his second season with the USU women's basketball team.

The Aggies begin practice for the 2012-13 season on Thursday, Oct. 4. Utah State's only exhibition will be Friday, Nov. 2 against New Mexico Highlands at 7 p.m. USU will be playing on the newly re-furbished Dee Glen Smith Spectrum floor which has been re-finished with the new U-State logo at center court.
