The Charlotte 49ers women’s basketball team is dancing.
The Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) selection committee granted the 49ers with their 13th trip to the postseason in the last 14 years. Charlotte will host Wake Forest in the first round of the WNIT in Halton Arena, Thursday March 17 at 7 p.m.
The 49ers carry a 19-11 record into the postseason, winning their last 9-0f-12 games. All-Conference USA second-team selections Alexis Alexander and Kira Gordon aspire to improve upon their finish in the national tournament three years ago in which the 49ers reached the Sweet 16.
This season, the senior duo pairs with All-Conference USA freshman selections Laia Raventós and Grace Hunter.
