Women's Basketball Plays Tonight in NCAA Tournament in Texas |
With a Northwest Conference regular season and tournament title, the Whitman College women's basketball team's stellar season continues into the postseason with a trip to Abilene, Texas for the opening two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The Blues (26-1) open the tournament against Whittier College (16-8) tonight at 5:30 p.m. PT.
The other half of the pod will feature Hardin-Simmons hosting Trinity (TX). The winners of each respective matchup will face each other on Saturday night with a spot in the NCAA Tournament "Sweet 16" on the line.
The Blues enter the matchup with all sorts of confidence. Whitman, ranked sixth in the D3hoops.com national poll, ran the Northwest Conference table (16-0) for only the second time in program history. The other was in 2013-14 when the Blues advanced to the national championship game. Links for keeping up with tonight's game:

Security: Vehicles and Possessions |
In the past few weeks, we have had several reports of vehicle break-ins. Whether you're parking your car in a campus parking lot, on the street or in a driveway, remember these tips for keeping your vehicle and possessions safe: - Always lock your doors.
- Roll up and close car windows.
-
Do not leave valuables (such as phones, wallets, laptops, backpacks, sports equipment, etc.) in your vehicle.
- Put valuables and packages in the trunk or out of sight if you cannot remove them from the vehicle.
- If you have the option, choose a parking spot that is well-lit.
- Do not hide a spare key in or on your car.
