Arkansas State has accepted an invite to the Women’s National Invitational Tournament for the third straight season. This is the seventh time during the Brian Boyer era the Lady Red Wolves will participate in the WNIT.

A-State received a bid since they won the regular season Sun Belt Conference championship and did not receive a bid to the NCAA tournament.

This is the 11th time the women’s basketball team has participated in the WNIT. A-State has compiled a record of 13-9 in the WNIT, and won the tournament in 1993.

The Lady Red Wolves finished the regular season as outright conference champs, with a record of 25-4 (19-1) in the regular season before being upset in the semifinals of the Sun Belt tournament by Troy.

The opponent and location of the first round game is to be determined, although it seems likely the team will host at least a first round game.

The full bracket is scheduled to be released later tonight.
