It’s been a good season for the Villanova Women’s Basketball team, with a campaign that might be the best-ever in that team’s program history, writes Colin Beazley for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Wildcats go to the NCAA Tournament March 19 as the No. 4 Seed team with a 28-6 record, the best it’s seen since 2002-03.

They play against No. 13 Cleveland State in their first-round game, at 5 PM Saturday at the Finneran Pavilion.

If the Wildcats advance, they will go against the winner of an earlier Saturday game, either No. 5 seed Washington State or No. 12 Florida Gulf Coast on Monday, March 20.

The Villanova Wildcats have achieved their highest Associated Press poll ranking in their history, peaking at No. 10 this year.

Also, for the second consecutive year, the women’s team advanced to the Big East Tournament championship. 

If they win Saturday, Villanova will match its program record for wins.

A Wildcat goal this season has been to improve on last year’s NCAA Tournament run.

In 2022, No. 11 Villanova took down No. 6 BYU in the first round but lost to No. 3 Michigan in the second round.
