Northwestern women’s basketball has declined a bid to play in the WNIT after failing to earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament, the team announced yesterday.
The women’s basketball team finished 20-11 in the regular season and won one game in the Big Ten Tournament before falling to Ohio State 99-68. That loss will be the final game in a Northwestern uniform for Nia Coffey, Ashley Deary, Christen Inman, Lauren Douglas, and Allie Tuttle.
Northwestern had hoped for its second trip to the NCAA Tournament in the last four years in 2016-17, but a damaging four-game losing streak in Big Ten season ruined its chances.
