Sandburg Women Host Olive-Harvey Thursday in Region 4 Quarterfinals

GALESBURG — The Carl Sandburg College women's basketball team's postseason opener will be a rematch of its regular-season finale.

The Chargers, who won a share of the Arrowhead Conference title in the regular season, earned the No. 4 seed in Region 4 Division II and will host 13th-seeded Olive-Harvey at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at John Lewis Gym in the quarterfinals of the District A tournament.

Sandburg (21-9) closed out the regular season with a 78-73 road victory over the Panthers (9-18) last Thursday.

The winner of Thursday's contest advances to the semifinals at 2 p.m. Saturday at Rock Valley against the winner between No. 5 Milwaukee Area Technical and No. 12 DuPage. The tournament championship is scheduled for 5 p.m. March 9, also at Rock Valley.
