STOCKTON, Calif. – Postseason play continues for the Pacific women's basketball program as it hosts Cal Poly in the first round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Alex G. Spanos Center.

Pacific (18-14) will host a postseason tournament game for the first time since 2015. The last time the Tigers played in the WNIT was 2019.

The winner of the Pacific and Cal Poly (17-13) match-up will face Minnesota (16-15) in the second round; a time, date and location has not been announced. The furthest Pacific has made in the WNIT is the third round in 2013 when it beat Little Rock 69-65 and Washington 85-78.
