LEWISBURG, Pa. - The Bucknell women's basketball team will travel to Waco, Texas, to face Baylor University in the first-round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.
The Bison, making their first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament, earned a 15-seed and will square off against the second-seeded Lady Bears on Friday, March 15, at a time to be determined. Bucknell's first-round game will follow the #7 Drake vs. #10 Syracuse contest in Ferrell Center on Baylor's campus.
Bucknell qualified for its first-ever NCAA Championship appearance by winning the school's first women's basketball Patriot League Championship last Wednesday. The second-seeded Bison defeated top-seeded Holy Cross, 88-74, in Worcester, Mass., to earn the Patriot League's automatic bid.
Bucknell's team headquarters will be the Fairfield Inn. For more information, contact Kathy Wright at 254/776-7821.
