The No. 5 ranked Lady Bears basketball team survived a nail-biter at the Ferrell Center last night against No. 19 South Florida, 66-63, securing a spot in the Preseason WNIT Championship game on Sunday.
The Bears (3-0) looked to keep the momentum at home going, adding on to their home record, 99-2.
The Bulls (2-1) were coming off two wins and a impressive last season, finishing second behind Connecticut in the American Conference.
Head coach Kim Mulkey said she was proud of the way her team played against the tough Bull’s team.
“Just beat a team that has five returning starters and nine returning players,” Mulkey said.
