LADY PIONEERS JOIN TOP-64 TEAMS - NCAA Divsion II Championships Begin

(03/08/2011)

By Drew Moody The Lady Pioneers have had a scant moment to reflect upon their WVIAC Tounament Championship victory Saturday defeating #1 conference seed University of Charleston. As of Sunday night, just after 9:30 p.m., Glenville State College's Lady Pioneers officially became one of the 64-best teams in the U.S. as playoff brackets were announced in this year's national playoffs. First round competition begins Friday, March 11, in what some refer to the 'March madness" of nationwide men's and women's college basketball playoffs. The Glenville State College women will meet Johnson C. Smith College Friday in Edinboro, PA, at the McComb Fieldhouse Gym. The entire affair takes just two weeks, culminating in the women's NCAA Division II Championship game March 25 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Additional information about early round game times and ticketing information was expected to be released Monday. The initial three rounds of women's championship play will be held March 11, 12, and 14. Game times have yet to be announced. WVIAC rivals University of Charleston and West Liberty have also earned bracketing berths and the Lady Pioneers may have the opportunity to permanently "re-defeat" them. The Glenville team is nationally ranked in several areas. Top rankings include: #1 Scoring Offense averaging 96.9 points per contest; #1 in three-point field goals per game, averaging 11.4; and the Lady Pioneers are #3 in steals, averaging 16 per outing.
