Well deserved. So I was thinking about how close this team really is. They had Neutered Lame down 6 at half and could have won that game had a couple of shots to start the second half had gone in. ND advances and knocked off UConn and is now playing in the NC game today. Oh so close, and this experience this year will only make them more dangerous and determined. Can't wait for next year and the addition of some really outstanding players to the mix. Great year ladies!!!

We're a basketball school! Apparently, a women's basketball school right now, :lol:

Congrats to Notre Dame for winning the Championship. Sabrina & Ruthy and Maite. along with Satu, and Mallory and Oti know what it takes to get to the Final Four and they'll be ready to go next season, especially with the top talent that's coming in. Only 7 months 'til next season!

The last few years the Volleyball, Basketball and Softball programs have all been ranked to go with the Elite Running programs we have. Right now it's more like which women's sport isn't nationally ranked? Golf? Soccer?
