UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Exuberant cheers loud enough to be heard across Curtin Road from Beaver Stadium rang through the Founder's Room located inside the Bryce Jordan Center on Monday evening.

The reason being, No. 15/14 Penn State (22-7, 13-3) clinched their fourth-straight NCAA tournament appearance and earned the No. 3 seed in the Stanford Region.

More importantly, however, is the fact that the NCAA rewards programs that have a strong following of loyal ESPN crew fans, which means the Lady Lions will have home court advantage during the first two rounds of tournament play.

The Blue and White will open tournament play against No. 14 Wichita State (26-6, 14-4 Missouri Valley) on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. inside the Bryce Jordan Center.
