Juniata College selected to host NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball 1st/2nd Rounds

HUNTINGDON, Pa. -- Juniata College will host the first and second round of the NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Championship, Friday and Saturday, March 2 and 3, at Kennedy Sports + Recreation Center.

The full results of the 64 teams in the tournament were announced today at 2:30 pm. 

York College of Pennsylvania will play Saint Vincent College on Friday night. Juniata will face Castleton State College at the conclusion of the first game. The winner of each contest will play each other on Saturday in Kennedy S+RC. Official game times for each of the contests will be released on Tuesday, Feb. 29. 

General admission for tickets will cost $6.00. Tickets will cost $3.00 for senior citizens ages 62 and up, students with student identification, and children under ten years old. Children under two years of age will be able to enter the game at no cost.

This year marks the Eagles' fourth NCAA appearance, and its third appearance since Landmark Conference play began in 2007. The Eagles NCAA tournament history includes a record of 3-2, their first NCAA appearance was in 1986 and their last in 2011.

This season, the Eagles remained perfect in Landmark play until dropping their 17 game winning streak in the Landmark Championship game to Catholic University, therefore Juniata did not receive an automatic bid and enter the tournament as one of 20 teams given an at-large bid.
