Navy women play for Patriot League title tomorrow
March 11th, 2011 | Navy Women's Basketball | Posted by Chris Kelly
The top-seeded Navy women’s basketball team hosts No. 3 American in the Patriot League tournament final tomorrow. The game will be broadcast at 6 p.m on CBS College Sports.
So what makes this interesting? Let me list the reasons:
- Neither school has ever won the Patriot League tournament.
- Neither team has ever advanced to the NCAA tournament and an automatic bid is on the line.
- This is only the third appearance in the championship game for Navy, who is 0-2 all time with their last appearance coming in 1999.
- American is 0-3 in the tournament final, losing last year’s game at Lehigh, 58-42.
With that said, there’s a lot on the line for both teams.
