Ingram leads TWU to Elite Eight

DENTON – It was a scene Texas Woman’s hoped to see inside Kitty Magee Arena during the NCAA Division II South Central Regional championship game. The 1,800-seat arena was nearly full of maroon. Students returned from spring break in time to provide a raucous atmosphere.

Lone Star Conference Player of the Year Ashley Ingram put on a performance worthy of being named the South Central Regional Most Valuable Player, leading the Pioneers past UT Tyler 65-51. TWU advances to the program’s first Elite Eight in St. Joseph, Mo. The NCAA will reseed the teams attending the Elite Eight. The Pioneers are the first No. 1 seed to advance to the Elite Eight and will likely receive a high seed next week.
