Fayetteville, NC – Fayetteville State University, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) women’s basketball champion, was announced by the NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Committee as one of 64 teams that will compete in the 2024 DII National Championship Tournament. The Broncos will enter the Atlantic Region as the No. 3 seed with an in-region record of 27-2. FSU will take on No. 6 seed Indiana University of Pennsylvania (21-7 overall) on Friday, March 15 at 5 pm in the Joe Retton Arena in Fairmont, WV.

“It’s an honor to be able to represent Fayetteville State and the CIAA in the NCAA Tournament with Bronco Pride!” adds Interim Head Coach Tyreece Brown.

The tournament includes eight regions with eight teams in each. The final eight teams will head to St. Joseph to decide a national champion.

This will mark Fayetteville State’s eighth NCAA Tournament berth.

The match-up against Indiana PA will be the first in program history. Fayetteville State (as the no. 8 seed) was slated to take on the 2020 No. 1 seeded Indiana PA in Indiana, Pa. The breakout of the COVID pandemic canceled the Tournament.
