Fairleigh Dickinson women are heading to March Madness with NEC title game opponent ineligible

Fairleigh Dickinson earned the first NCAA Tournament bid in school history after beating Chicago State 90-61 in the Northeastern Conference Tournament semifinals on Thursday night. The Knights (28-3) received the automatic bid because the other semifinal between Stonehill and Le Moyne, which Stonehill won 60-41, featured teams ineligible for the NCAA Tournament because they are still in the process of transitioning to Division I. At the final buzzer, FDU players had a massive group hug, jumping up and down in front of their bench in celebration.
