After defeating Buffalo 82-79 in the first round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational Wednesday, the Wright State women’s basketball team will take on the Manhattan Jaspers in the quarterfinals Sunday at 2:00 at WSU’s Nutter Center.<\/p>\n

Wright State (20-12, 11-7 Horizon) has won 20 games for the first time since the program moved up to Division I for the 1987-88 season. It is the second-most wins ever for the Raiders as they finished 24-6 in 1986-87, their final season in Division II.<\/p>\n

The win over Buffalo was WSU’s first-ever Division I postseason contest and the first postseason collegiate basketball contest held at Wright State’s Nutter Center.<\/p>\n

Manhattan (23-9, 13-5 MAAC) advanced to the quarterfinals Thursday night with a 52-48 home win against Sacred Heart. The Jaspers, who led 34-20 at halftime, were paced by freshman guard Monica Roeder’s 14 points while senior guard Abby Wentworth had 12. Junior forward Lindsey Loutsenhizer collected 14 rebounds.<\/p>\n

It will be the first meeting between the two schools and the two have no common opponents this season. The last time Wright State faced a school in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference was on December 1, 2007, when the Raiders defeated Canisius 57-40 at WSU’s Nutter Center.<\/p>\n

The winner will face the winner of Elon and UAB in the semifinals with the date and location to be determined.<\/p>\n
