SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Postseason WNIT announced today the bracket for the 24
th edition of the postseason tournament, with Wofford women's basketball slated to play Middle Tennessee State (23-7) in the first round on Thursday, March 17 at 9:00 p.m. ET (8:00 p.m. CT). This is the first postseason tournament appearance at the Division I level for the Terriers in program history.
The 2021-22 season has been a historic one for Wofford, with the Terriers posting a 17-13 record overall. The 11-3 SoCon record was the best-ever in program history and earned the Terriers the No. 2 seed in the Southern Conference Tournament, Wofford's best-ever. After downing No. 7 ETSU in round one, 66-54, Wofford fell to No. 3 Furman in the semifnals 64-59 in Asheville. However, with No. 1 seed Mercer claiming the conference title, the No. 2 seeded Terriers earned the SoCon's automatic bid to the Postseason WNIT, allowing the special season to continue.
The season is ending in a pseudo full-circle fashion, as Wofford opened its season by playing in the Preseason WNIT Classic in the Raleigh, N.C. pod. That was Wofford's first-ever appearance in that tournament as well, which saw the Terriers face NC State, Towson and Florida in games two-four of the season.
Now, Wofford will travel to Murfreesboro, Tenn. to make its first-ever appearance in the 64-team postseason edition of the WNIT. Round one action against the Blue Raiders is set for 9:00 p.m. ET (8:00 p.m. CT). The game will be streamed on the
Conference USA streaming site. Fans can purchase a 24-hour pass for $6.95 that does not auto-renew to watch the Terriers play in their first-ever Postseason WNIT game.
