The Mount Saint Mary women’s basketball team will be the No. 3 seed in this week’s Skyline Conference tournament.<\/p>\n

The Knights concluded the regular season on Feb. 21 with a 75-64 loss at Manhattanville, which earned the Valiants the Skyline tourney top seed with the victory – it snapped a five-game win streak by the Mount.<\/p>\n

The Knights – long the dominant team in the Skyline – had already wrapped up the No. 3 seed, and will host No. 6 Sarah Lawrence in a quarterfinal playoff game on Wednesday, Feb. 25. The Mount swept Sarah Lawrence twice this season, 85-58 on Nov. 22 in Newburgh and 76-60 on Jan. 24 in Bronxville.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The winner of that playoff will travel to No. 2 U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (21-4, 18-2) for a semifinal on Friday, Feb. 27.<\/p>\n

Mount Saint Mary has dropped two Skyline games to Manhattanville and Farmingdale State and once to U.S. Merchant Marine.<\/p>\n

The semifinal winners will play at the highest remaining seed on Sunday, March 1.<\/p>\n

The Mount Saint Mary men failed to qualify for the Skyline tournament for the third season in a row, finishing 0-16 in league play and 2-23 overall. No Knights team in recorded history (back to 1986-87) had posted fewer than seven overall wins or three Skyline wins.<\/p>\n

Both the Skyline women’s and men’s tournament schedules have been shifted by one day due to the expected impacts of the early week blizzard: the quarterfinals will be played Wednesday, Feb. 25; the semifinals on Friday, Feb. 27; and, the finals on Sunday, March 1).<\/p>\n
