Oilers Jump Two Spots In Midwest Region
Findlay, Ohio – The University of Findlay women's basketball team jumped two spots in the third installment of the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Rankings which were released on Feb. 28. The Oilers now hold the eighth spot in the rankings with the top eight teams in the region qualifying for the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional, which is set to take place on March 9-12. The top team in the rankings will earn the right to host the first three rounds of tournament play.
The Oilers are looking to qualify for the NCAA tournament for the third time in program history and the first since the 2012-13 season. That season Findlay make it to the Sweet 16 before falling to the top-seeded Ashland Eagles in the Midwest Regional final. 2009-10 was the only other time the Oilers made it into the NCAA tournament. That year Findlay made it to the second round of action.
Findlay is one of two Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) teams to appear in the poll.
