FORT COLLINS, Colo. (March 13, 2023) – The Wyoming Cowgirls will host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the opening round of the Women’s NIT at 6:30 p.m., Friday, March 17 in Laramie.
The Islanders, who were the regular season co-champions in the Southland, enter Friday’s contest with a 19-11 mark in 2022-23. The Cowgirls have posted a 22-10 record this season and received the Mountain West’s automatic bid to the WNIT. Wyoming is 19-9 all-time in the WNIT and captured the title in 2007.
This will be the fifth postseason tournament appearance in the last six seasons for the Cowgirls. The lone season, 2020, in which UW didn’t appear, no postseason tournaments were held due to Covid-19.
