Baseball (0-0)
- The turn of the calendar to March means baseball is right around the corner. The Yellowjackets will open their season in just 17 days as UWS takes on Allegheny (Pa.) College to open the Tucson Invitational on Sunday, March 19.

Women's Basketball (23-4)
- The old cliche says it's hard to beat a team three times in one season, but UW-Superior bucked the trend with its most dominant victory of the season over UM-Morris in the UMAC Championship game last Saturday at Mortorelli Gym. For their trouble, the Yellowjackets earned a shot against the No. 2-ranked team in the nation as they face the undefeated University of St. Thomas (27-0) opening the NCAA Tournament on Friday evening. With 14-straight victories in tow, UW-Superior will look for an upset and claim its program-record 24th victory this season. The 6-foot-3-inch senior Kaitlin Langer leads the Tommies with a dominating 19.7 point per game average, shooting 55.2 percent and grabbing 8.2 rebounds per outing. It will be the second-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament for the Yellowjackets, while St. Thomas makes its 24th trip to the national postseason since 1984.

First-year infielder Bailey Kinnunen (Grand Rapids, Minn./Grand Rapids H.S.) led the way, batting 9-for-13 on the weekend with three doubles, three RBIs, and four runs scored. First-year pitcher Megan Pehrson (Grand Rapids, Minn./Grand Rapids H.S.) gave up just four earned runs in 14.0 innings, striking out 13 batters in the process.
