WOMEN’S BASKETBALL ‘mdash; Less than one week after Cal State San Bernardino ousted them from the first round of the conference tournament, the Tritons received a second chance at the national title.
UCSD (26-4) secured an at-large bid to the Division-II NCAA Tournament as the No. 3 seed in the West Region when brackets were announced Sunday evening.
‘Waiting for an at-large bid, you’re always thinking and feeling confident,’ head coach Charity Elliott said. ‘But until you see it, you’re never sure.’
The Tritons have a short week to prepare for their upcoming game against sixth-seeded Cal State Dominguez Hills on March 13 in Seattle. The Toros ‘mdash; winners of the California Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament and eight of their last nine games ‘mdash; lost both contests against UCSD this season, the last coming on Feb. 6 by a score of 69-63.
