The Charlotte 49ers women's basketball team (18-13), who are making their school-record sixth straight postseason tournament appearance, host VCU (25-7) in the first round of the WNIT in Halton Arena, Saturday, March 22 at 12 pm.

The 49ers are an impressive 80-15 in Halton Arena since the 2001-02 season including a 12-3 mark this season. The 49ers are outscoring their opponents by an average of 11.6 points per game in their 15 home games this season.

Charlotte seniors Sabrina Gregory and Whitney Hoey have played an integral role in helping the 49ers win 80 games over the past four years including 50 wins in Halton Arena. The two seniors have guided the 49ers to postseason play in each of their four seasons as well as helping the 49ers capture the 2006 Atlantic 10 regular season title.

Gregory, who earned third-team All-Atlantic 10 honors this season, leads the team in scoring (10.7 ppg) and assists (119). Junior center Danielle Burgin, who earned honorable-mention All-Atlantic 10 honors, is second on the team in scoring (10.6 ppg) and first on the team in rebounding (8.3 rpg). Junior guard Traci Ray, who just became the 14th player in school history to record 100 assists in a season, is third on the team in scoring (9.2 ppg). Ray leads the team in three-point field goals made (57) and steals (55). Sophomore forward Erin Floyd is fourth on the team in scoring (8.6 ppg) and second on the team in rebounding (4.8 rpg).

The 49ers have reached the second round of the WNIT in three of the last four years. The last two seasons the 49ers have defeated James Madison (70-62 in 2006) and High Point (72-45 last season) at home in the first round of the WNIT.

Charlotte holds a 19-6 series lead against their former Metro Conference foe VCU. The 49ers defeated VCU in their last meeting in Halton Arena, 81-72, December 7, 2003.

Admission to the game is $6 for adults and $3 for youth. The first 500 Charlotte 49ers students get in free with a valid student ID and then the admission price is $1 for every student after the 500.
