GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota women’s basketball team has been invited to participate in the 16-team Preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament later this year.
School officials say UND becomes the first Big Sky Conference member to participate in the event since Northern Colorado was selected in 2009. Athletics Director Brian Faison calls it “a major honor.”
North Dakota is the defending Big Sky regular season and tournament champion. UND last season advanced to its first NCAA Division I Tournament.
