No. 3 Siena College will complete their season and move on to face No. 2 Louisiana-Lafayette (22-12) on Sunday at 5pm CT in the championship round the Women’s Basketball invitational (WBI) at Earl K. Long Gym in Lafayette, La.
The Saints will make league history on Sunday as the first MAAC women's basketball team to win three national postseason tournament games in one season and compete in a postseason championship. East region number three seed Siena (22-12) defeated fourth seeded Mercer 65-54 in the WBI Semifinals to cement their spot in the championship game, while also previously defeating Stony Brook 53-46 and Xavier 69-49.
Siena can become just the second MAAC basketball team, men's or women's, in conference history to be crowned with a national postseason tournament championship. Last season the Siena men's basketball team won the College Basketball Invitational (CBI).
