The victory was the Thorobrettes’ fifth overall and fourth in the last six years. With this win, they will be headed back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013.
The Thorobrettes improve to 25-12 on the season. In the first round of the NCAA Division II South Region tournament, the team will play at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Fla., at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 3.
