PVAMU Lady Panthers Head To Connecticut

CYPRESS, Texas -- The two-time defending SWAC Tournament Champion Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers will travel to the East Coast and play No. 1 seed Connecticut at 12:30 on Saturday March, 17 at the Kingston Region in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Prairie View A&M (17-15), the 16th seed, hosted a watch party at the Buffalo Wild Wings Bar & Grill located on 25704 Highway 290 in Cypress after closing out the season with six-consecutive wins and a their fourth SWAC Tournament Championship in six years.

Lady Panthers second-year head coach Toyelle Wilson will direct Prairie View A&M in the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years. That feat has never been accomplished in school history. She has also tied former coach Cynthia Cooper-Dyke for the most NCAA Tournament appearances in program history.

The Lady Panthers are up to the challenge of trying to upset a 29-4 Connecticut team at the No. 1 seed. UConn, coached by Geno Auriemma, has made 23 NCAA Tournament appearances and has seven national titles under its belt.
