Carleton plays in hometown Wednesday with Iowa State

The game that Chatham basketball fans have been waiting for is finally here.

Iowa State's women's basketball team, featuring Chatham native Bridget Carleton, will take on Eastern Michigan Wednesday night at the St. Clair College, Thames Campus Health Plex.

Carleton, who is a senior for the Cyclones, previously told Blackburn News that she gets chills when she thinks about playing again in her hometown.

Tip off is 6 p.m. and the doors open at 5 p.m. Tickets were 90 per cent sold out in early October, but organizers say they will have some standing room only tickets for sale at the door.
