NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – The Atlantic 10 Conference announced its sites for the women's basketball tournament championship through 2021 Tuesday.

The University of Dayton and UD Arena will host the event in 2020. Duquesne University was selected to host next season in 2019 at the A.J. Palumbo Center as the renovations at UD Arena continue. VCU will host at the Siegel Center in 2021 as well.

"For the Atlantic 10, the University, the Dayton region, players, coaches, media, and fans of all ages, we are excited to extend our long and rich relationship with hosting college basketball; one that will continue to bring the excitement of college basketball to a community that loves it, an institution that embraces it, and a facility that is among the best in the country," said Vice President and Director of Athletics Neil Sullivan. "The renovations will be complete by 2020 and hosting the A-10 tournament will provide us a great opportunity to showcase UD Arena as one of the nation's premier basketball venues."

"Having the A-10 tournament at campus locations will bring a lot of energy to the tournament and we are looking forward to the next three years," said Dayton head coach Shauna Green. "I am extremely excited to be hosting the championship in 2020. The renovated UD Arena will be such an unbelievable atmosphere for all the teams. We have the best fans in the country and I know they will turn out to support this championship event."

UD Arena has been the host to over 130 NCAA tournament games, more than any other venue in the country. It will continue to host the First Four through at least 2022, having done so since 2001.

Dayton women's basketball and the Flyer faithful have created one of the best environments in the country with the Flyers leading the Atlantic 10 in average home attendance last season with 2,605 fans per game.
