ERIE, Pa. – It's been an amazing four-year run for the seniors and graduate students on the 2013-14 Bentley University women's basketball team, and an even more incredible final season, one that has seen the nation's number one-ranked Division II team build a 34-0 record.

One game is left, the 2014 NCAA Division II national championship.

On Friday night, they'll take to the court wearing the Bentley blue for the final time, with coach Barbara Stevens' team looking to cap a perfect season and claim that ultimate prize.

The West Texas A&M University Lady Buffs will provide the opposition and the Erie Insurance Arena will be the setting for the nationally-televised contest (CBS Sports Network and ncaa.com) that will tip off at 7 pm.

Both teams, a combined 66-2 this season, will be seeking their first-ever national championship with each making their second appearance in the title game. Bentley fell to a powerful Delta State team back in 1990 while West Texas A&M dropped a 65-48 decision to Hampton two years earlier.

Among the players who'll be wrapping up their careers Friday will be three of the top 12 scorers in program history, a trio of four-year starters who have combined for 11 All-Northeast-10 awards and over 5,000 points while helping Bentley to an amazing 123-11 record.

Three-time All-America and Academic All-America forward Lauren Battista (North Easton, Mass./Oliver Ames HS), a candidate for WBCA Division II Player of the Year honors, sits atop Bentley's all-time scoring list with 2,098 points. Grad student Courtney Finn (Winthrop, Mass./Winthrop HS) moved into tenth during the Falcons' national semifinal game and now has 1,576 points, and six-foot post Jacqui Brugliera (Fitchburg, Mass./Wachusett Reg. HS) is 12th all-time with 1,476.

Those three, along seniors Christiana Bakolas (Manchester, N.H./Central HS) and Caleigh Crowell (Harwich, Mass./Worcester Academy), comprise a veteran starting unit, one that has 595 games of experience, 493 as starters.

Two of the team's top four off the bench, grad student Chrystal Guarin (Aliso Viejo, Calif./ Troy HS) and forward Tyler Parker Kimball (New Britain, Conn./New Britain HS), will also be taking the court for the final time.

Bentley punched its ticket for the title game with wins over sixth-ranked Drury University, 74-66, and 18th-ranked Cal Poly Pomona, 77-62, using a strong defensive effort to take both contests. The Falcon D held the two clubs to 37 percent shooting and 17.5 free throws a game while coming up with 10 steals, seven blocks and at least eight offensive fouls drawn.

The seniors and grad students have accounted for 138 of the team's 151 points in the two games with a number of outstanding individual performances. Finn had a career-high 30 points and ten rebounds against Drury and Brugliera put up a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double against Cal Poly Pomona. Crowell scored 16 second-half points against CPP without missing a shot and finished with 21, and Battista has averaged 22.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in the Elite Eight thus far.

West Texas A&M also sports a veteran lineup with four seniors in its usual starting five. The Lady Buffs, under coach Mark Kellogg (who took Fort Lewis to the championship game four years ago), advanced by crushing Limestone College, 81-44, and holding off Nova Southeastern, 80-66, in a game it led by 26 midway through the second half.

Junior center Chontiquah White has averaged 19 points and 13.5 rebounds in the Elite Eight, putting up double-doubles both games. Both of those numbers are significantly above her season norms of 14.4 points and 7.1 rebounds.

Senior forward Devon Griffin is also a force for the Lady Buffs, averaging 15.1 points and seven rebounds overall with 67 steals and 28 blocks. She had a 16-point, 14-rebound double-double against Nova Southeastern, and has combined with her frontcourt mate to take a total of 411 free throws this year.

Senior Casey Land is an outstanding shooter (73 three-pointers with a .429 accuracy mark, .944 from the line) and classmate Lacee Logan has connected six times from beyond the arc in the Elite Eight.

For the season, Bentley has a +22.0 scoring margin and West Texas is at 20.4, with the two teams ranking 1-2 nationally. West Texas leads Division II in field goal percentage with Bentley fifth, and the Falcons are second in rebound margin, with the Lady Buffs 13th. Both are among the top seven scoring teams in the Division II.

Friday night's encounter will be the first-ever between the two programs.
