Led by 1st-year Head Coach Bridgette Gordon, the team put an end to a five-year post-season drought, by beating the Wildcats.
Coming into the matchup, the Rattlers had beaten seven SWAC teams, which is a season high for the program since joining the conference in 2021.
The Lady Rattlers will get their first post-season shot against Grambling University as the 7-seed on Wednesday, March 13, at noon Eastern on ESPN+.
