It's go time in Elite Eight for WWU women

In a season defined by a 17-3 record away from its own Carver Gymnasium, Western Washington is on the ultimate road trip, playing Monday night in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight tournament in Birmingham, Alabama for just the third time in program history.

At stake? A spot in the NCAA Division II Final Four, and a step closer to the NCAA national championship — which would be a first for the Viking women and coach Carmen Dolfo, in her 31st year at Western. Western’s men’s team won the national title 10 years ago. 

The No. 5 seeded Vikings (23-5) face No. 4 Valdosta (Georgia) State (26-5) Monday at 6:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) in the last of the day’s four quarterfinal games in Bill Harris Arena at the CrossPlex in Birmingham. 

The game will stream live on NCAA.com free of charge. See live stats at wwuvikings.com/WBB_Stats.
