Bracket Set: ECC Women's Basketball Championship Starts Wednesday
West Babylon, N.Y. – The bracket for the East Coast Conference Women's Basketball Championship is now set after the conclusion of regular season play yesterday.
UDC (15-12, 10-6 ECC) is back in the tournament for the second straight year and will host a first round matchup for the first time since the 2016 season. The Firebirds will look to end a nine-year drought without a title, with their last and only ECC Championship coming in 2014.
Staten Island (10-18, 6-10 ECC) makes its first-ever appearance in the ECC Championship. The Dolphins are in their first season of Division II postseason eligibility after transitioning from Division III over the past three years.
UDC swept the season series, including a 28-point win on their home court just last weekend.
