Postseason WNIT | 3/10/2025 1:15:32 PM
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – On the doorstep of its 27th season rewarding the depth found in women’s college basketball, the Postseason WNIT (powered by Triple Crown Sports) has begun announcing automatic qualifiers for the event and will continue to build its field of teams as the week’s conference tournaments continue to play out.
Of course, all roads lead to WNIT Selection Night, set for Sunday, March 16. Officials will announce the field of teams after the NCAA has released its tournament brackets, and the Postseason WNIT will follow up on Monday, March 17 with matchups, locations and tipoff times.
Here's the schedule for each round:
Round 1 - March 20-22, 2025
Round 2 - March 23-25, 2025
Super 16 - March 26-28, 2025
Great 8 - March 29-31, 2025
Fab 4 - April 1-2, 2025
Championship - Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 3 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network)
Through the weekend of March 8-9, two teams have secured automatic qualifier status for the Postseason WNIT:
Lindenwood – Out of the Ohio Valley Conference, Lindenwood (21-10) won 16 games in league play and reached the OVC championship game before coming up just short in overtime. The Lions moved up from Division II in 2019 and bounced back impressively from a 7-21 finish last season. Three players – Ellie Brueggemann (11.8 points per game), Brooke Coffey (10.8 ppg) and Gracy Wernli (10.5 ppg) – have started all 31 games for Lindenwood.
Longwood – The Lancers (22-11) were picked to finish seventh in the Big South but came alive this season, topping 20 victories for the second time in two decades and reaching the conference title game, falling to High Point by six points. Longwood won nine games last season; this campaign was paced by a swarming defense that forced more than 24 turnovers per game. The team is balanced offensively, paced by the 11 points per game from sophomore Amor Harris.
