NYU? So, why?
New York University will have the opportunity to make history for the NCAA Division III on Saturday as the first program to win a men's and women's championship in the same season that the team won the semi-finals on Thursday night.
Violet's women's team continued to roll into the title game with a 74-55 victory in the University of Wisconsin Stoout semi-finals in Salem, Virginia.
Bell Perecchia led the way with 22 points, while Natalie Brands added 19 as Sumire (30-0) took a 41-20 halftime lead.
The overall seed will win Smith College at 4pm on Saturday in a rematch of the 2024 Championship Game, where NYU won 51-41.
On the men's side, Hampton Sanders scored 10 points and Brock Sasco added 16 with 12 rebounds to win the 72-60 semi-finals over Washington University (St. Louis) in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
NYU (29-1) will be their first appearance at school since finishing in 1994, and will be appearing at Trinity College on Saturday at 4pm.
