MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The long awaited return for National Junior College Athletic Association postseason basketball is finally over!

Later this week, both the Milwaukee Area Technical College men's and women's basketball teams will begin their respective postseason journeys by competing in the NJCAA Region 4 Tournament.

On the men's side, the Stormers (12-17, 11-9 in Region 4) drew the No. 5 seed in the Midwest B District, where they are now set to face No. 4 seed Moraine Valley (15-15, 14-9 in Region 4) in the quarterfinals.

"Our matchup on Thursday is going to come down to who wants it more," MATC men's head coach Randy Casey said. "We have played Moraine twice this year, with both teams winning on their home floor. We will have to put a full 40 minute game together and limit our mistakes. We lost to them a little over a week ago so hopefully the guys come ready to get them back. We will need everyone to be at their best and playing for each other."

MATC men's matchup with MVCC is set to tip-off at 6 p.m. (CST) on Thursday at Moraine Valley Community College. Earlier this season, the Stormers split a pair of regular season matchups against the Cyclones on Nov. 9 and Feb. 15, with each team claiming one double-digit win over one another.

As for the women's team, the Stormers (9-21, 5-15 in Region IV) received the No. 8 seed in the Midwest B District. As the lowest seed of the tournament, MATC will square off against No. 1 seed College of Lake County (24-5, 21-4 in Region IV) during the quarterfinal round.

"We competed well against CLC back on Nov. 20, losing by nine at their place," MATC women's head coach Arom Murrell said. "We have to do a better job defending the interior/paint this time.Foul trouble and rebounding hurt us in that first game."

MATC will play its quarterfinal game against the Lancers at 6 p.m. (CST) Thursday in Grayslake, Illinois. For context, the Stormers will be looking to avenge their 62-53 defeat to CLC this past November.
