“This is a big deal for C.W. Post basketball,” said Soldano “it is a great chance for our team to step up to the Division I level.”
This game will prove to be a challenge for the Pioneers. The Red Storm, a Big East conference team, made it to the NCAA Division I tournament last year. The Pioneers went 21-10 last season and earned a spot in the NCAA Division II Tournament. This game provides the Pioneers with the opportunity to play up and gain Division I experience.
