Western women advance to Division II title game

Western women’s basketball is after some history.

The Vikings are headed to their first national championship match following a 74-68 victory over top-seed North Georgia in the NCAA women's Division II Final Four.

Western trailed early, but as it has all season, the team’s depth and defense carried the Vikings to victory.

“My team just dialed in, they played amazing defense and I’m just so proud,” Western head coach Carmen Dolfo said. 

Western will play No. 3 Glenville State (West Virginia) at 5 p.m. (Pacific) Friday for the Division II national championship. The game will be televised on CBS Sports Network.
