WICHITA FALLS, Texas -- Midwestern State returns to the NCAA Division II South Central Regional for the first time in nine years.

The Mustangs earned the No. 4 seed as an at-large bid and will face St. Edward's Saturday night at the Burg Center on the campus of Dallas Baptist University. Tipoff time is set for 7:30 p.m.

Midwestern State qualified for its 27th overall national postseason berth, and 12th since joining NCAA Division II prior to the 1997 season.

The Mustangs claimed South Central Region titles in 2009, 2010, and 2011 advancing to three consecutive Elite Eights.

MSU closed the season with a 22-7 mark, falling to West Texas A&M in the quarterfinal round of the Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament Friday afternoon at Comerica Center in Frisco.

The Mustangs eclipsed the 20-win barrier for the first time since going 24-6 in 2015-16.

MSU edged St. Edward's by a score of 63-62 earlier this season at D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
