Lady Vikings Enters CCIW Tourney

CHICAGO, IL (February 22) - The North Park University lady Vikings basketball team takes on Illinois-Wesleyan at 6 p.m. Friday night in the first round of the CCIW Tournament at Wheaton.

The Vikings have knocked off several nationally ranked teams this year, which was a much tougher schedule than last season. The women (13-12, 8-6) hope the third time is a charm against Wesleyan, having fallen in both games this season to the Titans (18-7, 10-4).

Conference leader Wheaton (21-4, 11-3) takes on Carthage in the second game of the evening (12-13, 7-7). Wheaton is ranked 16th in the nation in NCAA Division III.

The winners of each game will play for the championship at 2 p.m. Saturday in Wheaton. The victor will earn an automatic bid in the national tournament.
