After two losses in the regular season the Tigers at last defused the Battling Bishops by a score of 61-45 to advance to the tournament finals Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Kenyon Athletic Center.

The team was sponsoring the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's "Think Pink Night", defending their home turf, and out for a bit of revenge against the visiting Bishops, who dispatched the Tigers on Jan. 26 in Delaware, Ohio.
