The Wartburg women’s basketball team travels to Providence, Rhode Island, for the Sweet-16 of the NCAA Division III Tournament. They will take on Bates College in Friday night’s opener.

That’s Wartburg coach Bob Amsberry. The Knights are 27-2 and advanced to the rounds of 16 after home wins over Wisconsin Lutheran and Illinois Wesleyan.

It is Wartburg’s second straight trip to the Sweet Sixteen.

Rhode Island College plays Washington & Lee in Friday night’s second game. The winners meet Saturday for the right to advance to the Final Four.
