UD women seeded 12th, will play Tennessee

The University of Dayton women’s team is a No. 12 seed and will face No. 5 Tennessee in first-round NCAA tournament game Saturday in Louisville.

The Flyers (22-9) earned an automatic bid by winning the Atlantic 10 tournament.

It’s the program’s seventh trip to the NCAA tournament, all of which have come since 2010. UD went to the WNIT last season, losing 89-72 to Western Kentucky in the first round.

The Flyers are 5-6 in NCAA tournament games, including a run to the Elite 8 in 2015.
