The Niagara women's basketball team will make its first postseason tournament appearance as a Division I program, when the Purple Eagles continue their season in Wisconsin in the 64-team women's NIT. Niagara (18-12) will play Wisconsin-Green Bay (27-5) in a first-round game at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Kress Center in Green Bay. Cleveland State defeated Green Bay 73-61 for the Horizon League Tournament championship March 7 in Indianapolis. This will be the third all-time meeting between the Purple Eagles and the Phoenix; Wisconsin-Green Bay earned a pair of wins against Niagara during the 1987-88 season.
