The Wildcats were No. 9 in the South Central Region poll Monday before the LSC Tournament started. With wins over Angelo State and Tarleton State, it could mean that no matter what happens in tonight's championship match with West Texas A&M, that the Wildcats could be headed for the regional tournament next week.
Midwestern State was ranked ahead of the Wildcats at No. 8, however, the Mustangs fell to Texas Woman's in the quarterfinals match Thursday. Nebraska-Omaha sneaked in some how with a 16-14 record. Stranger things, have happened, but ACU could very well leapfrog both teams in next week's polls to make the tourney for the first time since 2005.
Yet another way to get in: Win the conference tournament, which the Wildcat women will look to do tonight against the No. 3 team in the nation.
The last time the two teams played in the regular season, West Texas A&M won 3-0 in Abilene Sept. 27.
The Lady Buffs have lost just 10 conference games since 1999, however, four were to ACU. The Wildcats will look for their first conference title since 2005.
Once again, former all-Americans Lindsey Martin and Amanda 'Slate' Farrell are taking on coaching duties for head coach Kellen Mock who was advised by her doctor to stay home in preparation for the birth of her first child.
