Wells College added women's basketball as a varsity sport for the 2010-2011 season on Monday, naming Mike O'Brien head coach.
The Express will begin play in the North Eastern Athletic Conference with the winner of the postseason conference tournament earning an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
