Westminster women’s basketball team looks to contend for a conference title in first year of NCAA DII eligibility — and they’re doing it by committee

At the end of last season, the Westminster College women’s basketball team boasted a record good enough to compete for a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship. But due to the university’s provisional status entering NCAA Division II, it wasn’t eligible to play postseason games.

But this year, the moratorium is lifted, and the Griffins are talking full advantage of the opportunity. With just a month left in its conference schedule, Westminster sits at 14-3 overall and 12-1 RMAC, which is firmly second in the standings to only Colorado Mesa (16-1, 13-0).

The Griffins have spent the 2018-19 season acting is if they have something to play for because, well, this time they do.
