Wright State is going back to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament.

The Raiders rallied to top IUPUI in the championship of the Horizon League Tournament on Tuesday afternoon, a 53-41 decision that will send Wright State to the Big Dance for the third time in program history.

IUPUI led for most of the first three quarters, but Angel Baker put the Raiders on top 38-36 with a 3-pointer with under three minutes to go in the third quarter.

That was part of a 14-0 run that gave Wright State control of the game at Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis.

The Raiders held the Jaguars off the scoreboard for nearly 10 minutes from the middle of the third quarter to the middle of the fourth and opened up a 44-36 lead.
