SLIAC delays start of women's tournament

The winter storm that was expected to hit mid-Missouri today has forced the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to push back the schedule for its women's postseason tournament.

The SLIAC made the pre-emptive move Wednesday, announcing that the tournament - which was scheduled to start tonight at regular-season champion Westminster College - now won't begin until Saturday.
