[title:private] => Cal Women’s Basketball Ranked Nationally to Start
[author:private] => Sports Information Department
[body:private] => The California women’s basketball team is ranked 23rd by DII Bulletin and among “others receiving votes” in the USA Today/ESPN Division II poll, sponsored by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), heading into the 2007-08 season.
The Vulcans were 21-10 overall last year and finished second in the PSAC West. Cal advanced to the 2007 PSAC West Championship Game for the seventh-straight season under head coach Darcie Vincent, and were selected to play in the NCAA Championship Tournament for the sixth-straight year.
In the USA Today/ESPN poll, Cal is the 14th team listed among “others receiving votes” with 33 points. The Vulcans are the second-highest ranked PSAC team (behind 16th-ranked IUP) and fourth-highest ranked team from the East Region (behind IUP, 21st-ranked Glenville State and Anderson, S.C., which is also receiving votes).
It marks at least the fifth-straight year that the Vulcans have received national recognition prior to the season.
