Women's Basketball
After posting a 15-10 overall record with a 12-6 mark in CCC games, the Gulls women's basketball team earned the \#4 seed in the playoffs and will host \#5 Roger Williams on Tuesday, February 21st at 6:00 pm. Endicott and Roger Williams split their two regular season meetings with the Gulls claiming a 57-49 victory back on December 3rd and the Hawks exacting some revenge three weeks ago by winning 56-46. Both teams won on their home court.
Below is the official seeding and schedule of the 2012 CCC Women's Basketball Tournament. The only tiebreaker situation occurred between Endicott and Western New England who shared the same conference record and split their two games this year.
