LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – After clinching its first 22-win season in 34 years, the nationally-ranked Lock Haven women's basketball team will look to clinch the top-seed in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division with a pair of victories this week.
Lock Haven kicks off the week by traveling to Mansfield on Wednesday (5:30 p.m.) before hosting Shippensburg on Sunday (1 p.m.).
The Bald Eagles have been on an historic run this season and have won 22 games for the first time since 1989-90.
Lock Haven won its first 14 PSAC games this season and have held a firm hold on first place in the conference all season long.
A pair of victories will lock up the top seed in the PSAC East for the Bald Eagles, who at 22-2 overall and 17-1 in the PSAC sit three games ahead of second-place West Chester with four regular season games remaining.
Lock Haven enters the week with a perfect 11-0 record at home and an impressive 10-1 road mark.
The No. 24 ranking is the first for Lock Haven in the WBCA National Poll this season. The Bald Eagles have been ranked in the D2CSC poll since Jan. 23.
The Bald Eagles also moved up to No. 18 in the D2CSC poll and remain the third-ranked team in the D2CSC Atlantic Region.
The NCAA DII Women's Basketball regional rankings will be release tomorrow (Feb. 21) and will have major implications on the Region and NCAA Tournament.
