There was quite a buzz around campus as the women’s basketball team completed a spectacular season. The Cardinals clinched the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship after posting a 21-2 regular season record. The women lost to Saint Thomas in the championship game of the MIAC tournament held before an enthusiastic crowd in Winona . . . but they still earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III tournament. Their performance made us all proud before bowing to UW-Oshkosh in the regional semi-finals. The women finished with a school-record-tying overall record of 24-4.
Many Cardinals earned post-season honors, including Courtney Euerle, who was named MIAC player of the year and D3hoops.com honorable mention All-American. Bridget Pethke was named first-team All-MIAC, and Coach Mandy Pearson earned a second-straight MIAC coach of the year honor.
