The University of Toledo women's basketball team will face Delaware on Wednesday at Savage Arena for a first-round matchup in the Women's National Invitation Tournament.

The Rockets (23-8) were the Mid-American Conference regular season champions but lost to Eastern Michigan in the conference tournament semifinals last week.

The Blue Hens (20-13), who finished seventh in the Colonial Athletic Association regular season standings, advanced to the CAA tournament championship game before falling 67-61 to James Madison on Sunday.

Tipoff times for the WNIT will be announced Tuesday.
