FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Taking its usual high-profile place on the college basketball calendar, the Women's Cancun Challenge has cemented its 10-team field for 2022, with all the action scheduled for the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya.
Games will take place Nov. 24-26 at the all-inclusive resort, with teams and fans in walking distance to the converted ballroom that hosts the tournament.
Four teams making up the Mayan Division are set, with Florida State, Harvard, Oklahoma State and Purdue making the trip. Those teams play a three-game round-robin. Six teams will power the Riviera Division with Central Michigan, NC State, Northern Iowa, Tulane, Vanderbilt and West Virginia heading for Mexico for two games apiece.
The tournament dates back to 2005 and has historically drawn a deep roster of Power 5 notables and strong mid-majors, all looking to sharpen their rosters before the start of conference play.
"We are pleased to draw another intriguing mix of teams to the Women's Cancun Challenge. These matchups are attention-getters, as we feature a competitive environment that teams love to see before the conference schedule begins," said Sarah Molina, Cancun Challenge director.
More information will continue to be released on the event website: https://cancunchallenge.net/sports/wbball
