Prince George’s Women’s Basketball To Host Central Carolina In Mid-Atlantic District Championship On Saturday

After winning the Region 20 Championship over Butler County this past weekend, the 8^th ranked Prince George's Lady Owls will host Region 10 representative Central Carolina Community College in the Mid-Atlantic District Championship. The game will take place in Novak Field House on Saturday, March 4^th at 1 PM. This marks the third straight season the women's program has hosted a District Championship, having lost in 2020 before the Owls advanced to the National Championship in 2022 following a year off due to COVID.

The Owls have experienced an up-and-down season at times this year with a difficult schedule that included three games against ranked Division II programs. Despite the majority of their schedule being played above their Division, the Owls enter Saturday's contest with a 13-8 record on the year which includes a perfect 8-0 mark against DIII opponents. Central Carolina enters with a 7-15 overall record.

With a roster that features 6 returners from a National Tournament team from a year ago and another season under their belt, coach May and his squad will look to make it 9 wins in divisional games to keep their goal of a National Championship in sight. Saturday offers another chance to do just that as the winner will advance to the National Championship held in Rochester, Minnesota from March 15^th – 18^th.

All Prince George's Community College students, staff, and faculty are free to enter Saturday's game with a current college ID. Prince George's County Public Schools staff and students can also enter at no cost with a current school ID. All other spectators above the age of 12 must purchase a ticket for $5 cash only at the door.
