BREAKING: The Chico State women’s basketball team is charging into the playoffs as the 4th seed in the six-team tournament, set to clash with Cal State University Dominguez Hills on Thursday, March 2, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. in Kellogg Arena. With a solid 15-7 conference record, the Wildcats are determined to reclaim the CCAA championship title they last won in 2008.
The stakes couldn’t be higher as the Wildcats aim to bounce back after a challenging stretch. Despite a strong start to the season with a 19-9 overall record, the team has struggled recently, losing five of their last nine games, including two to #7-ranked Cal Poly Pomona. The recent losses have raised concerns, particularly with the absence of senior forward and leading scorer Meadow Aragon, who averaged 15 points per game before suffering a season-ending knee injury in January.
Chico State’s impressive run included a nine-game winning streak before their first defeat on January 22, which has left fans wondering how the team will adapt without Aragon’s offensive prowess. Nevertheless, the Wildcats have shown resilience, relying on a lockdown defense and contributions from other players to keep their championship hopes alive.
As excitement builds, the Wildcats will receive a send-off on Tuesday at 12:45 p.m. outside Acker Gym, where fans can rally behind the team before they embark on their playoff journey.
For those eager to follow the action, live updates will be available through the Wildcat home page and on FloSports. Stay tuned as the Wildcats fight for glory in the postseason!
