Lynchburg Baptist or California Wesleyan din't make the field?

No. While I'm not sure about Lynchburg, Stockton barely made the conference tournament on the girls' side; NO post-season tournament would take them this year.

Not in the WNIT

Lady Apps won last night against C of C and will host Memphis on Sunday in the championship game. Go Apps!

Congrats, App State. I hope you sock one to Memphis State right on the chin.

Congrats to #1 seed Appalachian State, who knocked off the OTHER #1 seed Memphis State 79-71 to win the Women's Basketball Invitational.

GO FCS!!!
