WICHITA, Kan. — With the postseason looming, the Newman women's basketball team will finish up their regular season Wednesday as they travel to Claremore, Oklahoma with a matchup with Rogers State.

POSTSEASON CONSIDERATION

Newman appears all but locked in to the fourth seed at next week's Heartland Conference tournament, which will take place March 1-4 at the Union Multipurpose Activity Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Jets could bump up to the third seed with a win over RSU and a St. Mary's loss to Texas A&M International this week.
