NCAA Women’s Tournament: Arizona Wildcats headed to Maryland as a No. 7 seed

The NCAA Women’s Basketball Selection Committee apparently likes reunions.

The seventh-seeded Arizona Wildcats are set to play tenth-seeded West Virginia in the first round, matching up current UA starter Esmery Martinez against the team she was a member of for three years.

“We’ve been talking about our potential matchups,” fifth-year senior Cate Reese said. “I think we’re excited. I know Es is excited.”

The Wildcats and Mountaineers will play in College Park, Md. with the winner possibly advancing to play the second-seeded Maryland Terrapins, who will first face off against Holy Cross.
