Indianapolis, Ind. – The Le Moyne College women's basketball team has been selected to the NCAA Women's Basketball Championships for the third time and is the sixth seed in the NCAA Division II East Regional, as announced by the NCAA Women's Basketball Selection Committee on Sunday night on NCAA.com. The sixth-seeded Dolphins will face third-seeded Saint Anselm College in the regional quarterfinals on Friday at a time to be determined at Adelphi University's Center for Recreation and Sport in Garden City, N.Y.

Le Moyne is making its second straight regional appearance and advanced to the regional title game last year. The Dolphins and Hawks have met 40 times previously with Saint Anselm holding a 21-19 advantage, including winning last year's regional title game.
 
The remaining quarterfinal matchups in the East Region feature top-seeded Adelphi against eighth-seeded Jefferson, second-seeded Stonehill College taking on seventh-seeded Daemen College and fourth-seeded USciences facing fifth-seeded Molloy College. Stonehill College won its sixth Northeast-10 Conference championship, Jefferson won the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference championship for the second straight year and Daemen claimed its first East Coast Conference title by defeating Molloy. The Le Moyne-Saint Anselm winner will face the Stonehill-Daemen winner in the regional semifinals on Saturday, while the Adelphi-Jefferson winner and the USciences-Molloy winner will square off in the other semifinal on Saturday. The semifinal winners will play for the regional championship on Monday, March 16 at 7:00 p.m.
 
Ticket and broadcast information will also be announced early in the week.
 
The Dolphins enter the tournament with a 19-9 record, including wins in eight of their last 10 games, after advancing to the NE10 semifinals for the fourth straight year. The Dolphins went 14-5 in conference action, the second-best mark in the program's history. The Dolphins have played six games against the other teams selected to the regional and were 0-6 in those matchups.
