Once again this year, the Panthers are heading back to Champaign, Illinois to play their first round game in the NCAA Division I playoffs. This year, however, they won't have to face the Illini -- at least not right away. Their first round opponent will be the Dayton Flyers at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Here's the official release.And here are a few quick facts about the Panthers' incredible race to the finish:
- They've won 11 consecutive games
- The streak started with a five-set thriller over Illinois-Chicago on October 16
- They fought off two game points against UW-Green Bay in the Horizon League quarterfinals
- Lauren Felsing (Wisconsin Lutheran '06) was named MVP of the Horizon League Tournament. Maddie Sueppel (Cedarburg '06) and Natalie Schmitting (Neenah '07) were also on the Horizon League all-tournament team
Good luck, Panthers. This is your year.
