Ashland University women's basketball team is eyeing a win in the National Championship game against Minnesota Duluth—but winning the title would also mean history for the leader of the Eagles.
ASHLAND, Ohio — Hanging banners, filling trophy cases and adding 2023 to their National Championship banner is the goal of the Ashland University women's basketball team as they prepare for the championship game in Dallas Texas against Minnesota Duluth—but winning the title would also mean history for the leader of the Eagles.
"We know that we have to make a few tweaks. Duluth is a really good team and we have to dominate those tweaks. But at the end of the day, they also have to prepare for us and we're a really good team," said head coach Kari Pickens."I want us to go down there with a ton of confidence knowing that we've put together a great season and this next game is no different than any other that we've played.
"It's such a crazy feeling. I actually was a player for the last four years, so we've been talking about winning a national championship for the five years that I've been here and obviously before that. So it's such a surreal feeling to actually be in this position," said graduate assistant Erin Daniels."And although I'm not a player anymore, it's still just as exciting to be a coach in coaching in the national championship.
"We're like, 'coach, you're incredible.' And she is so humble about it. She's like, 'guys, stop, stop, stop,'" Daniels laughed."We don't bring it up too much, but we're in the presence of one of the best coaches in the history of Ashland women's basketball and in Division II and women's basketball in general."
