UAA title picture--

On Sunday, Chicago clinched a share of the UAA title and clinched the first automatic bid to the DIII Women's Basketball Tournament by owning a head to head sweep over Rochester-- the only other team who has a shot of getting a share of the UAA title.

Chicago currently has a 3 game lead over Rochester with 3 games to play.  A Chicago win this weekend secures the outright UAA title for the Maroons.

Rochester and Wash U are playing for Pool C consideration.

Having clinched .500 or better records and eligibility for ECAC selection, Brandeis and NYU are playing to improve their chances of being picked for the ECAC tournament.

Emory needs 1 win to finish above .500 for the season.

Case and Carnegie Mellon are guaranteed to finish under .500
