UNM To Host NCAA in 2009 and 2010

by UNM Athletics

INDIANAPOLIS---The NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee has selected 17 additional first- and second-round sites for the 2009 and 2010 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship and those sites have been approved by the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. This means UNM is hosting NCAA Women's Basketball tournaments in 2008, 2009 and 2010. 
The sites were added after the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee announced in the summer of 2007 that the championship would be expanding to 16 pre-determined first- and second-round sites beginning in 2009.
Additional cities chosen to host first- and second-round games in 2009 include Bowling Green, Kentucky; Chattanooga, Tennessee; East Lansing, Michigan; Iowa City, Iowa; Notre Dame, Indiana; San Diego, California; Seattle, Washington and Storrs, Connecticut.
The additional first and second rounds of the 2010 championship will be played in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Ames, Iowa; Cincinnati, Ohio; Durham, North Carolina; Louisville, Kentucky; Norman, Oklahoma; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Tallahassee, Florida and Seattle.
“The committee was pleased with the amount of interest generated when we announced that we were going to 16 pre-determined sites again in 2009 and 2010,” said Judy Southard, senior associate director of athletics at Louisiana State University and chair of the Division I Women’s Basketball Committee. “To be able to get a good blend of cities that have past hosting experience in combination with a number of new cities and venues is good for the continued growth of the game of women’s basketball and our championship.”
