The winner of Saturday’s game advances to the second round, where they will face either Utah or South Dakota State on Monday (March 25) at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
Ejim’s remarkable senior year continued on Wednesday (March 20), when she was named an AP All-American Honorable Mention.

Good luck to Yvonne and the Zags.
