No. 3 UTA women’s basketball has a chance of redemption against No. 6 California Baptist University in its first Western Athletic Conference tournament match.
The Lady Mavericks will be one of nine teams eyeing an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I women’s basketball tournament. The single-elimination competition is scheduled March 11 through 15, ending with the crowning of a WAC champion.
Last season, No. 1 CBU ended No. 5 UTA’s run in the semifinals after the Lady Mavericks barreled through their first two games of the tournament.
“That has been something that we’ve really struggled against them,” head coach Shereka Wright said in a March 8 post-game press conference.
