The Leathernecks are dancing! The Western Illinois Leathernecks women's basketball team is headed to the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament and will face the North Carolina Tar Heels in the first round of March Madness on Friday, March 20 at 4:30pm central time. 

If you'll be in Chapel Hill, join us at Four Corners for a pregame social! Details available here.

If you can't make it to Chapel Hill for the game, we hope you'll attend a watch party in your area! Know a place hosting a party or want to host one yourself? Email us at a-association@wiu.edu and we'll add your event to our list. Thanks for helping us spread Leatherneck Pride nation wide!
