PROVO -- BYU won a bid to host one of the 2004-2005 NCAA regional tournaments.

The Cougars, who got an automatic bid for winning the Mountain West Conference Championship last weekend, will host No. 36 Sacramento State, Niagara and No. 15 Baylor.

BYU will open the regional against Sacramento State Friday, May 13 at 10 a.m. In the other match, No. 15 Baylor takes on Niagara at 10 a.m., as well. The winners of Friday's matches advance to the championship round on Saturday at 10 a.m.

The winner of the regional then advances to the tournament's round of 16, played in Athens, Georgia on the campus of the University of Georgia.

The women's Championships are 64-team fields, single elimination tournaments. There are 16 first and second round sites, called regionals, in each tournament. At each regional, four teams compete with the winner advancing to the sweet 16.

Tickets for the tournament are $5 for adults and $3 for kids and all students.
