First time in the Final Four
Dec
2009
Congrats to all of the Final Four participants, but a real strong thumbs up to the three newcomers, Dominican, Calvin, and Lynchburg.
Dominican has been to the Elite Eight twice before and is riding an eight year post-season streak streak, while Calvin has been to the post-season nine times. This is Calvin’s first year in the Elite Eight and the Final Four. They started their NCAA tournament experience way back in 1980. And the Lynchburg women have been to three Elite Eight levels, and are running a three year Sweet Sixteen streak.
Dominican is from the Chicago area and won the NathCon Tourney to grab the conference AQ. Calvin, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was the MIAA winner, and Lynchburg, an ODAC member from Lynchburg, Virginia was an at-large team after losing to Washington & Lee in the conference semi-finals.
