Emporia State women earn No. 4 seed in NCAAs
Lady Hornets to face fifth-seeded Southwest Baptist at 8 p.m. Friday in Canyon, Texas
Sunday, March 9, 2008
A first-round exit in the MIAA Tournament didn't do much to hurt the Emporia State women's basketball team's NCAA seeding, as the Lady Hornets earned a No. 4 seed in the South Central Regional on Sunday night.
The Lady Hornets will face fifth-seeded Southwest Baptist in the first round at 8 p.m. Friday. ESU went 1-1 against SBU during the regular season.
The rest of the bracket is as follows: West Texas A&M, the No. 1 seed and host, will face Northwest Missouri State, the No. 8 seed; third-seeded Central Oklahoma takes on sixth-seeded St. Mary's (Texas); and second-seeded Washburn will go up against seventh-seeded Angelo State.
If ESU was to win its first-round game, it would take on the winner of the West Texas A&M-Northwest Missouri State matchup.
