The RVC women's basketball team defeated top seed Anoka Ramsey Community College in the semi-final round of the NJCAA tournament on Friday evening, 63-55.

RVC will play for the NJCAA Division III national championship on Saturday night (March 17) at 8:00 p.m. against #3 seed Roxbury Community College.

The Golden Eagles have already guaranteed themselves the best national finish in the program's history. The previous best finish for RVC women's basketball was third place back in 1995. It would be the first national title for either basketball program in RVC's history. 

RVC's athletics program as a whole has won eight NJCAA national titles- two for men's tennis, two for women's tennis, two for golf, and two for volleyball.
