The University of Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels women's basketball team learned late Sunday night that they would be playing in the Division III NCAA Basketball Tournament for the first time in school history. After posting their best record (21-6) in 16 seasons of competition, the NCAA committee rewarded the Petrels with an invitation to the Division III version of the "Big Dance."

Oglethorpe will play at Maryville College on Wednesday night at 7pm in Maryville, Tennessee.

The Petrels and the Scots squared off earlier in the season with Oglethorpe coming away with an 89 - 78 victory in Dorough Field House in Atlanta.

After winning only 12 games a season ago, Oglethorpe has turned things around with a stellar freshman class that includes four of the top five scorers on the team.

The Petrels are paced by freshman sensation Katie Kulavic and her 17.3 points per game. Anna Findley (12.4 ppg), Biz Richmann (11.0 ppg), and Hannah Brooks (6.7 ppg) round out the most productive first-year class in Oglethorpe history. Junior Erin Flynn (13.0 ppg) provides the team with veteran leadership for head coach Ron Sattele.

The winner of Wednesday's contest will travel to Greencastle, Indiana to face DePauw University (27-1) on Saturday.
