WATERBURY, Conn.-After winning three games in a row, the Post University women's basketball team, will look to make it four in a row, as it hosts Chestnut Hill, in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) game. Tip-off is slated for 1 p.m. in the Drubner Center.

This is the first-ever meeting between the two schools, as Chestnut Hill is in its first season as a member of the CACC, after making the move to Division II this past summer.
