The Ball State women's basketball team will play Middle Tennessee in the first round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament after accepting its automatic bid.

The Cardinals, who fell in the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament as the No. 2 seed, are making their third straight WNIT appearance.

Ball State lost on the road to Northwestern in the first round of last season's WNIT, after advancing to the Sweet 16 in 2013, before losing to Kansas State.

Head coach Brady Sallee is the only coach to lead Ball State to three consecutive WNITs. He has led the Cardinals to a 17-13 (13-5) record and an outright MAC West Division title this season.

The WNIT features 64 Division I teams. The Cardinals begin tournament play on Mar. 19.
