MIAMI (Oct. 16, 2020) – The FIU women's basketball team held its first official practice of the 2020 season under new head coach Jesyka Burks-Wiley on Friday afternoon.
 
The energetic practice lasted a little over two and a half hours at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center. 
 
Burks-Wiley's first squad on 8th Street is a blend of transfers and returnees eager to make a name for themselves in the Conference USA. 

FIU enters its first season in the Burks-Wiley era, as she becomes the eighth coach in the program's history. Burks-Wiley joins the Panthers after spending the past three seasons as an assistant coach with the South Florida Bulls. FIU will be the sixth coaching stop for Burks-Wiley, as the former professional forward has spent time at Nebraska-Omaha (2012-13), UMass-Lowell (2013-14), Brown (2014-16), Boston College (2016-17) and USF (2017-20).
