The Wartburg women’s basketball team opens the NCAA Division III Tournament at home Friday night against Wisconsin Lutheran. The sixth ranked Knights are 25-2 and making their eighth straight appearance in the tournament.

That’s Wartburg coach Bob Amsberry who says an experienced senior class has been a key part of their success.

Wisconsin Lutheran enters the game with a record of 23-4.

Illinois Wesleyan and Concordia Moorhead collide in the other first round game. The winners meet Saturday night in second round.
