La Crosse, WI (WXOW) -
The UW-La Crosse women's basketball team is being rewarded for their big turnaround season.
The Eagles will host a conference tournament game.
They'll take on UW-Eau Claire Wednesday night.
It's been five years since they've qualified for the conference tournament.
UW-L's 15 wins overall and nine in the conference are the most since the 2011-2012 season.
It's already been quite a season for first year head coach Karen Middleton.
I learned a lot about who we have and what we need to do. So we took our lumps early. Once we hit conference I think we really started to hit stride and learn from the games we had played before and continue to get better. I really believe we're playing our best basketball, which is the best time to do it right now. So we're excited where we are," said Middleton.
Wednesday's game tips off at 7 PM at Mitchell Hall.
The Eagles won the previous two meetings this season.
