Event Details: The Islanders will take on Cal State-Bakersfield on Wednesday night at the American Bank Center in the opening round of the Women's Basketball Invitational with tip-off set for 7 PM on Stripes Court.

The Islanders are 22-10 on the season and finished third in the Southland Conference while the Roadrunners finished the season with a 16-12 record.

That season, in the only other postseason appearance for the Islanders, they hosted a WNIT game against Fresno State in a first round and beat the Bulldogs by a 56-53 final. In the second round, TAMUCC traveled to Texas A&M; where they were knocked out by a 65-59 score against the Aggies.

Austin takes on Creighton in the WNIT. It is the first time in Southland history that three member schools have participated in the postseason.
