UTA women’s basketball set to compete in Women’s National Invitation Tournament

UTA women’s basketball heads into its postseason with the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, playing against University of the Incarnate Word at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at College Park Center.

After falling in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament championship game, head coach Shereka Wright said the team gained traction going toe-to-toe with Grand Canyon University on national TV.

The Lady Mavericks will host one more game at CPC following their historic season in the arena. UTA finished 11-1 at home, the best since 2006-07.

“We had a lot of success on our home floor,” Wright said. “What it does is, for the community who had not had a chance to be able to come and see you, get a chance to come do that.
