Jersey City heads to the Eliectric City fresh off its second consecutive New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Championship. The Gothic Knights defeated The College of New Jersey in the first-ever home NJAC title game in program history on Saturday night, Feb. 26. NJCU did not compete in NCAAs last season after winning the program's first-ever conference title, as Division III did not sponsor a women's basketball tournament.
