BAILEE FLORDIA BOUND FOR NCAA II SOUTH REGION TOURNAMENT

Haven't found TV game coverage yet but will keep looking.  Radio may be the best we can get.

For the second straight season, the University of Alabama in 

Huntsville women's basketball team will participate in the NCAA 

tournament as the NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Committee 
announced the 64-team field for the national tournament on Sunday

 night. UAH will be the No. 7 seed in the South Region and face 

second-seeded Tuskegee on Friday, March 15.
 
The Lady Chargers earned the automatic berth of the Gulf South 

Conference after going on a three-game tear through the GSC 

tournament, and in doing so, the team earned a trip to Nova 

Southeastern who earned the top seed in the region.
 
Tuskegee fell in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference 

tournament but still grabbed the second seed, and the match-up with 

UAH marks a rematch of an earlier contest as the Lady Chargers 

defeated Tuskegee by a 73-49 score in Huntsville at the start of 

the season.
  

The Lady Chargers will face Tuskeege at 1:30 p.m. CDT 

on Friday at NSU.

GULF COAST CHAMPIONS

Bailee Robinson, Elkmont Class of 2009, and the UAH Lady 

Chargers beat West Alabama, 82 - 59.  

It was doubtful if UAH would make the  NCAA DII tournament 

but the team pulled it together and collected a bid to March 

Madness with the Gulf Coast Championship Trophy.  

Tournament draws come out later today

Bailee came out hot, scoring the 

first two points of the game and 

then followed it up with a three 

pointer.  She was everywhere 

with two rebounds, and had 

seven of UAH's first nine points 

by 18:33.  Her assist helped 

score the next two points.

Bailee's game stats were:
Minutes played: 33                       
Total points: 13 
Three pointers: 3-5                       
Two pointers;    2-5
Freethrows:      0-0
Rebounds: 6

Bailee had a fantastic tournament

and was awarded for that effort 

by being selected for the first 

team Gulf South Conference 
Tournament team.

BAILEE AND THE LADY CHARGERS IN FINALS

Exactly a year after Delta State sent UAHuntsville packing in the 2012 NCAA Division II, the Chargers got a little payback -- and also put themselves one win away from another NCAA invitation.  Thinking back on to a year ago, Bailee Robinson said, "It was a long game. After that, we knew we weren't as good a team as we could be."

"I couldn't be prouder of this team," said coach Roy Heintz. "They've come with a purpose in mind and they're carrying it out moment by moment, game by game."

Bailee and the Lady Chargers beat Delta State in the Gulf South Conference semi-finals, 68 -57. She added 11 points and five rebounds. 

UAH (14-16) will play in the finals at 1:30 at Samford's Pete Hanna Center, meeting the winner of the West Alabama-North Alabama game

Watch Bailee tomorrow when the Women's Finals will be shown live by ESPN3/ESPN Full Court, Mediacom, and the Alabama Cable Network.

BAILEE AND LADY CHARGERS MOVE TO SEMI FINALS

The UAH Lady Chargers beat Valdosta State 90 - 79. Bailee Robinson scored a three pointer right out of the gate and followed it up soon after to help put UAH up 8 - 0  in the first few minutes.  The Lady Chargers used a trap defense that cause Valdosta State to turn the ball over more than 20 times.  UAH had a big lead at half, 54 - 29.  

Valdosta State started to pull it together and cut the lead down to 12 but the UAH guards were able to hit their freethrows down the stretch to hold their lead over VSU.

Jasmine Hammon finished the afternoon with 26 points while teammate Jordan Smith poured in 23 as both shot over 50 percent from the field on the day. Joining the pair in double figures was Bailee Robinson who scored 13 and Natalie Kelley who tallied 12.
