For the first time in program history, the IUP women’s basketball team will play for the NCAA Division II championship.
The IUP women paved their way to Saturday’s championship with a 75-70 win over Colorado Mesa last night at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse at Duquesne University. IUP President Dr. Michael Driscoll said the Crimson Hawks definitely gave Colorado Mesa a run for their money.
IUP Athletic Director Todd Garzarelli was impressed with the very vocal pro-IUP crowd, including other student athletes who came out to support the team.
Grand Valley State was the winner of the other Final Four semifinal, defeating UAH (University of Alabama in Huntsville), 61-39. The championship game will be held at 3:00 PM Saturday.
