INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy women's basketball team was picked to finish third in the East Division this season according to the GLVC Women's Basketball Preseason Poll, released Wednesday. The annual poll was voted on by the league coaches and ranks the top five teams in each of the conference's divisions.

The Greyhounds earned 10 points to slot behind Lewis at No. 2 in the voting, while Southern Indiana earned 15 points and three of five first-places votes as the official favorite in the East. Both Truman (Central) amd Drury (West) earned the maximum 16 points to top their respective divisions.

The GLVC regular season will feature three divisions and a 20-game schedule, where every team plays every divisional opponent twice – home and away; two random non-divisional opponents twice – home and away; and every other non-divisional opponent once. The top eight teams with the most points derived from the familiar GLVC Point Rating System at the end of the regular season will earn a berth to the GLVC Basketball Championship Tournament March 3-6 at the Vadalabene Center in Edwardsville, Ill., on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

The Greyhounds kick off their 2021-22 slate with an exhibition contest at Indiana University on Friday, Nov. 5. The regular season starts with a region contest at Malone University seven days later.
