This marks Ferris State's seventh appearance in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament and their third in four years. The Bulldogs previously advanced to the tournament in 2019-20 before it was canceled due to COVID-19 and lost a first-round game two years ago at Ashland before winning their first regional championship this year.
A watch party for all of Ferris State's Elite Eight games is planned at Buffalo Wild Wings in Big Rapids this week.
The victor of Wednesday's semifinal clash will move on to compete for the 2024 NCAA D2 National Championship title on Friday, March 29, also in St. Joseph.
