Carson-Newman College will play at Tennessee in a women's college basketball exhibition game for the 2009-10 season.

The game will take place Nov. 5 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tipoff is 7 p.m.

It will be the sixth consecutive year the two teams will play.

The Lady Eagles, which went 19-11 last season and earned a berth to the NCAA tournament, will travel to two other Division I schools for exhibition games before starting regular season play.

C-N will begin its exhibition slate on Nov. 2 at Middle Tennessee State University and will wrap up preseason play on Nov. 8 at Appalachian State.

C-N opens regular season play with a home opener against Anderson on Nov. 15.
