No. 5 Gustavus Women's Basketball is one of 16 remaining teams in the NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Championship, heading into the sectional semifinals Friday, March 14, against McMurray (Texas). The Gusties, who have matched the program's farthest NCAA finish already, face the Warhawks at 5 p.m. (4 p.m. CT) at Bowdoin College's Morrell Gymnasium, host of the third and fourth rounds in the top left quadrant of the tournament bracket.
The Gusties (28-1, 17-1 MIAC) advanced to the "Sweet 16" for the second time in program history (2017-18) via a pair of victories on Gus Young Court last weekend, hosting an NCAA regional in Saint Peter for the first time in program history. Gustavus claimed a 61-49 overtime win over Wisconsin Lutheran Friday before a 56-50 win over No. 12 Wartburg (Iowa) to punch a ticket to Maine. McMurray (23-5, 14-3 SCAC), meanwhile, reached the sectional semifinals with wins over Cal Lutheran and Texas Lutheran last Friday and Saturday in the East Texas Baptist Regional. The other third round match-up features host Bowdoin (Maine) and Smith (Mass.) at 7:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. CT). Friday's winners play at 7:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. CT) Saturday in Brunswick for a chance to advance to the Final Four.
