New for the 2011-2012 seasons, the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap the previous day's games and on goings on our nine campuses and provide links to previews, recaps, features and exclusive coverage.

The basketball postseason continues today for America East women’s basketball teams as New Hampshire and Boston University both take to the hardwood. The Terriers lace up for a WNIT first round matchup against St. Joseph’s in Philadelphia while the Wildcats head to Worcester, Mass. to take on Holy Cross in the WBI.

Boston U., making its third NIT appearance in the last 4 seasons, won the regular season championship this year to earn the automatic berth. The Terriers have a 1-2 record in the WNIT with the last win coming in 2009 over Central Connecticut State, 79-60.

Check out an in depth preview of this game between the Terriers and the Hawks.

New Hampshire, meanwhile, makes its first postseason appearance since 1999. Earlier this season, the Wildcats fell to tonight’s opponent, Holy Cross, but were without a very important piece of their team. Morgan Frame was not in uniform for that December matchup but will be tonight after putting together a fine second half of the season for UNH.

Check out this video promo for the game.
