March 2, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — DePauw University's women's basketball team has received an at-large bid to compete in the NCAA Division III women's basketball tournament. The Tigers will open play on Friday, March 6, when they face the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in first-round action at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois.
DePauw enters the tournament with a record of 22-5; UWEC is 23-5.
The appearance will be DePauw's sixth straight and 10th in the last 14 years. The Tigers haveadvanced to the national quarterfinals each of the last three seasons and claimed the 2007 Division III national title with a 55-52 win over Washington-St. Louis.
Friday's first round matchup is noted on the Web site of NBC station WEAU and in Eau Claire's Leader-Telegram, which calls the Tiger squad "tournament tested."
