HOUGHTON -- Due to unforeseen travel issues that prevented the University of Findlay from arriving in Houghton Thursday, the schedule for the NCAA Women’s Basketball Midwest Regional has been changed by the NCAA to ensure a positive championship experience for all student-athletes involved.

Findlay’s quarterfinal game against Wisconsin-Parkside has been moved to Saturday (Mar. 13) afternoon, meaning that the semifinal games will be played a day later (Sunday, Mar. 14).  The championship game will be delayed until Tuesday (Mar. 16).
