The Philadelphia Big 5 has announced the matchups and schedule for the second annual Big 5 Women’s Classic, which is sponsored by Toyota. The event will take place Sunday at Villanova University’s Finneran Pavilion. Fans can watch all three games live on NBC Philly Plus, with streaming available through the NBC Sports app and Villanova Athletics YouTube Channel.
Tickets for the tripleheader start at $25 per person and cover admission to all three games. Group tickets remain available for parties of 20 or more by contacting Villanova Athletics.
The competition format divides six teams into two pods: Pod 1 includes Drexel, Penn, and Saint Joseph’s; Pod 2 features La Salle, Temple, and Villanova. Each team played others in its pod earlier in the season at campus sites. On Sunday, every team will participate in one of three games based on their pod standings.
Saint Joseph’s and Villanova topped their respective pods and will compete for the championship at 4:30 p.m. The day begins with Penn facing La Salle at noon in the fifth-place game, followed by Drexel against Temple at 2:15 p.m. for third place.
“Saint Joseph’s and Villanova won their respective pods and will meet for the Big 5 championship at 4:30 p.m. Sunday’s tripleheader will tip off at noon, with La Salle playing Penn, followed by Drexel against Temple at 2:15 p.m.”
