Going off info I got from people here in Canyon, ACU had never won in this building, however, I was informed that Shawna Lavender's first win over West Texas A&M in 2003 was here at the First United Bank Center. Lavender took over for a relieved Wayne Williams with six games left in the 2002-2003 season. Lavender proceeded to guide ACU to a 5-1 mark for the remainder of the season, one of those wins coming here in Canyon over the Lady Buffs.
Even still, ACU has a long way to go, trailing by 11 points with 16:27 left in the second half at 49-38.

You've been corrected again. From the ACU media guide greatest women's basketball moments see Jan. 26, 2002. Under Coach Williams the Lady Wildcats beat WT in the first game ever played in the new facility. Coach Bob Schneider was so upset that he was going to leave the Special Events Center and not attend the ceremony between games to open the new place. Sweet Victory!
