With a trip to the Division III women's basketball final four on the line, DePauw will welcome three other teams to Neal Fieldhouse on Friday and Saturday for the NCAA Sectional Round.

The action will tip off at 5 p.m. Friday as Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference rivals No. 12 Wisconsin-Oshkosh (26-3) and No. 13 Wisconsin-Whitewater (24-4) meet for the third time this season. This time, a trip to the round of eight will be on the line.

Two of three Oshkosh losses this year came at the hands of Whitewater.

In game two, the third-ranked Tigers (29-1) will take on No. 9 Carthage (26-3) at 7:30 p.m. Carthage lead the NCAA Division III in three-point shooting (.396) and rank second in field goal percentage (.500).

The Saturday sectional final game between the two winners is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Should DePauw and Whitewater advance to the final, it would be a rematch of the 2013 national championship game.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for senior citizens, students and children (2 and older) and will go on sale at the gate one hour before tip-off on Friday and 90 minutes prior on Saturday. Cash sales only.

All games will be played in the Neal Fieldhouse, which is located in the Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center. Entry may be gained through the North doors.
