NKU Head Coach
(28th season)

NKU NORSE
HEAD COACH
If anyone really needed
proof, Nancy Winstel provided
it with an exclamation point in
March of 2008.
What the Northern Kentucky
University women’s basketball
head coach did was guide her
team to the NCAA Division II national championship in 2007-08.
In doing so, Winstel reinforced
what most already knew - that
NKU is one of the nation’s elite
programs and its head coach is possibly the country’s
most outstanding mentor.
Winstel, now in her 28th season as head coach
at NKU, reached the 600-win plateau as a college
coach in 2009. She has also guided NKU to a pair of
NCAA Division II national championships.
Two years ago, Winstel guided NKU to a 29-3
record and the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament championship. The Norse also earned the
No. 1 seed for the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional
Tournament, which was hosted at The Bank of Kentucky Center on NKU’s campus.
Three years ago, NKU claimed the national title
by posting a 63-58 win over South Dakota. Winstel

the media after NKU’s victory over North Dakota State
in the 2000 national championship game.

led the Norse to a 28-8 overall record en route to the
NCAA Division II national championship at Kearney,
Neb.
Winstel’s team also won the 1999-2000 NCAA
Division II national championship, and her Norse
finished with a 32-2 record that season. Winstel
earned the WBCA Division II National Coach of the
Year honor in 1999-2000, and the 32 victories were
the most in school history. NKU also won 24 consecutive games en route to the school’s first-ever national
championship.
In 27 years as head coach at NKU, Winstel has
seen the Norse compile a 597-197 record, make 20
NCAA Tournament appearances, be nationally ranked
in 19 seasons, win or share 10 Great Lakes Valley
Conference championships and advance to the NCAA
Division II Final Four in 1987, 1999, 2000, 2003 and
2008.
NKU also has advanced to the NCAA Division II
national championship game three times during her
tenure. In addition, 55 of her players have earned AllConference honors.
A six-time GLVC Coach of the Year selection, she
has a 636-238 overall record in 30 seasons as a collegiate coach and is 345-101 (.774) against conference
competition.
Four years ago, Winstel led NKU to a 21-8 record
and a berth in the NCAA Division II Tournament. Winstel also notched her 500th win as the Norse’s head
coach when her team defeated Midway (Ky.), 98-42,
on Nov. 21.
Five years ago, Winstel guided NKU to a 27-5
record and the GLVC Tournament championship. The
Norse advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament
and defeated Michigan Tech in the first round. NKU
also finished with a No. 19 national ranking in the Division II poll. For her efforts, Winstel was named GLVC
Coach of the Year.
Eight years ago, Winstel guided NKU to a 26-8
record and the NCAA Division II Elite Eight for the
fourth time in five seasons. The Norse then defeated
Washburn and California (Pa.) to reach the NCAA
Division II national championship game against South
Dakota State. NKU dropped a 65-50 decision to South
Dakota State in the national title game.
In 1987-88, the Norse posted a 25-3 mark and

tied with Saint Joseph’s for the conference championship. The
team was ranked as high as fifth and lost all three of its games
in overtime. In addition, senior guard Julie Wells became the
first NKU player ever to earn GLVC Player of the Year and AllAmerica honors.
Her 1986-87 team finished 25-5, won the conference and
Great Lakes Regional championships and lost in overtime to
eventual national champion New Haven (Conn.), 77-74, in the
national semifinals. Her 1985-86 team shared its first conference title with Bellarmine and earned a No. 7 national ranking.
This season is the 33rd that the Newport, Ky., native has
been involved with the women’s basketball program at NKU.
Winstel played with the Lady Norse from 1974-77 and was an
assistant coach from 1981-83.
After graduating from NKU with a degree in physical education and history in 1977, Winstel attended Indiana University
and earned her master’s degree in physical education with an
emphasis on coaching in 1978.
Her first head coaching position came at Midway (Ky.),
where she spent three seasons and posted a 39-41 record. In
her last two seasons, Midway won two KWIC championships.

NKU NORSE
ASSISTANT COACH
Jeff Hans is in his third season as the top assistant coach for the women’s basketball
program at Northern Kentucky University. Hans assists in all areas of coaching, scouting
and recruiting for the Norse.
Hans spent two seasons as the girls’ basketball head coach at Lexington Catholic
High School and guided the team to a 59-9 record. Lexington Catholic also won the district
championship in 2007-08 and twice finished as regional runner-up under Hans.
Prior to that, Hans served as the girls’ basketball head coach at St. Henry High School
from 2004-06.
“Jeff is a solid basketball coach with a great deal of experience, and we are very fortunate to have him join
our program,” Winstel said, noting Hans served as a graduate assistant at NKU during the 2001-02 season.
“He is familiar with our program from his time as a graduate assistant, and I am very glad he is back at NKU.”
A 1995 graduate of National Trail High School in New Paris, Ohio, Hans spent two seasons as an assistant
coach at Wilmington College. The Lady Quakers posted a 37-16 record during his two years at Wilmington.
Hans became the graduate assistant coach at NKU in 2001-02, and the Norse captured the NCAA Division
II Great Lakes Region championship by defeating Southern Indiana at Evansville, Ind. NKU posted a 26-7
record that season and played in the Elite Eight at Rochester, Minn.
Hans, who also spent two years as an assistant coach at Indiana State University from 2002-04, is a
1999 graduate of Wilmington, where he received a B.S. in agriculture. He and his wife, Stacee, reside in
Independence with their two daughters, Kailynn (6) and Keira (3).
NKU NORSE
ASSISTANT COACH
Gabby Johnson is in her first year as an assistant coach for the Northern Kentucky
University women’s basketball program. A former Thomas More College standout point
guard, Johnson joined the NKU coaching staff this past summer.
Johnson spent last season as an assistant at Thomas More and helped the Saints
post a 26-4 record and advance to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
“Gabby brings a lot of enthusiasm to our staff, and we are really excited to have her
join us,” NKU head coach Nancy Winstel said. “She comes from a very successful program and was a really good player under head coach Brian Neal. Gabby really wants to be
a college coach and she is a great addition to our staff.”
Johnson was named honorable mention All-Presidents’ Athletic Conference twice and led Thomas More
to three straight NCAA Division III Tournament appearances. Johnson finished her career third in school history with 320 career assists.
In addition to assisting with practice and recruiting, Johnson will also play a major role with the NKU girls’
basketball summer camps.

PINE BLUFF, Ark. — In 34 previous
attempts this season, no team could
do it. In one try, Northern Kentucky
University did it – the Norse knocked off
previously unbeaten Saint Rose (N.Y.).
NKU, ranked No. 2 nationally,

on a jumper from Flanagan with 3:13 left.
NKU wouldn’t trail again.

NKU head coach Nancy Winstel said.
“We just wanted to keep it close and have a chance at the end, and the girls really hung tough. All I know is
we get to play (in the Final Four), and that’s all that matters.”
With Saint Rose trailing 52-47 with 1:24 left, Colleen Sheridan nailed a 3-pointer to pull the Golden
Knights within two. But the Norse responded - thanks to Mobley, who drove the lane, made a layup and
then hit a free throw with a minute left to give Northern Kentucky a 55-50 lead.
“I thought then that we had a chance,” Mobley said. “But I still knew we had to play tough defense the
rest of the way.”

Despite shooting just 29 percent in the first half
(8-of-28 from the field) and being outrebounded 22-14,
NKU trailed just 25-20 at intermission. A 3-pointer by
Tuchfarber at the buzzer pulled the Norse within five

PINE BLUFF, Ark. – The ladies from Highland Heights, Ky., are
just one win away from taking home an NCAA Division II national
championship.
Julie Cowens scored 19 points as Northern Kentucky University
defeated Western Washington, 80-74, in the NCAA Division II Final Four at
the Pine Bluff Convention Center. NKU, which extended its winning streak to
23 consecutive games, improved to 31-2. The Norse will meet North Dakota State
University
(28-3) for the NCAA Division II national championship. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2.
Cowens, a junior post player, made 8-of-10 shots from the field against Western Washington, and she
connected on all three of her attempts from the free-throw
line. The Norse shot 50 percent from the field and won the
rebounding battle by a 32-31 margin.
Junior guard Michele Tuchfarber added 15 points for NKU,
and sophomore forward Michelle Cottrell scored 14 points.
Freshman forward Kristin Polosky scored 10 points off the
bench to spark NKU.
The Norse (31-2) made six free throws in the final 53.6
seconds to pull out the victory.
NKU was 26-of-34 (76.5 percent) from the line, including
19-of-23 by the starters.
“We shot 50 percent (from the line) Thursday and generally
bounce back from an effort like that,” NKU head coach Nancy
Winstel said. “There are some games where we’re a 92
percent shooting team, and there are others where we’re 50
percent. We didn’t shoot many in our shoot-around today, but
free throws were something we really talked about.”

with 28 points and had eight points in the first 10 minutes of

the second half as the Vikings grabbed a 58-56
advantage with 7:53 remaining. But NKU took
over from there.
“It was a really physical game,” said Hill, who
finished 10-of-19 from the field and with a gamehigh eight rebounds.
“I didn’t hardly get any touches without getting
knocked around some.”
NKU outscored Western 9-2 during the
next three minutes and never trailed again. The
Vikings pulled to within one point twice in the final
2:16, but on both occasions, Northern Kentucky
responded with three-point plays. Hill hit a short
jumper with 2:16 left to pull WWU to within 67-66,
but Northern Kentucky answered with a 3-pointer
by Tuchfarber.
With 20 seconds left, Western’s Briana
Abrahamsen connected on a 3-pointer to pull
the Vikings to within 75-74, but Cottrell was
fouled while hitting a layup two seconds later.
Her ensuing free throw and Jodie Kaczor’s failed
3-pointer at the other end effectively ended the
game.

PINE BLUFF, Ark. - The buzzer sounded,
and Northern Kentucky University’s women
raced to midcourt, a circle of friends in a circle
of tears.
Within minutes, national champion T-shirts
had been donned. Then came the ladder-andscissors drill. Seventy minutes after the final
buzzer, coach Nancy Winstel jumped fully
clothed into the pool at the Ramada Inn next
door, and the Norse followed suit, still in their
uniforms.
There was one final game plan: With a
5:15 a.m. wake-up call today to make a flight,
the players were to prevent oversleeping by
simply not sleeping.
“Heck, it’s not like we have practice
tomorrow,” Winstel said.
For the first national title of any kind in
school history, there was to be no celebration
left unfinished. An all-night party was the
least they could do.
“It’s almost undescribeable,” junior guard
Heather Livingstone said. “I wish I would have
looked in a dictionary to find a word for this. It’s
absolutely the best feeling in the world.”

What began as a rebuilding season ended in rejoicing,
the Norse rallying for a 71-62 overtime triumph over North
Dakota State for the NCAA Division II basketball crown
Saturday at the Pine Bluff Convention Center. A team figured
a year away from its peak somehow stands at the summit.
NKU had no seniors in its nine-player rotation. It had just
four players back from last season, two of them starters.
Yet it had heart. NKU trailed late in the second half of all
five of its tournament games, behind by double digits in two
of them. It rallied from seven points down with 15 minutes left
Saturday, then regrouped after losing a four-point lead in the
final 80 seconds of regulation.
“Our team has more heart than anyone,” forward Amy
Mobley said.
Mobley, a freshman from Harrison, scored 13 points
Saturday, 11 of them after halftime.
Michelle Cottrell, a sophomore forward from Boone
County, earned tournament Most Valuable Player honors
after totaling 23 points and 19 rebounds. Michele Tuchfarber,
a junior guard from Mount Notre Dame, totaled nine points,
six rebounds, four assists and three steals and also made
the all-tourney team.
NKU finished 32-2, ending with a 24-game winning
Michele Tuchfarber sees an opening against
streak. North Dakota State, a five-time national champ, went
North Dakota State in the second half.
28-4.
“This is one of the few times I have ever been
speechless,” Winstel said. “When we went into this year, we didn’t ever think about winning a national
championship. We’re so young, we never looked ahead past the next game.”
The secret Saturday was defense. NKU held the Bison to
one basket the last 11:27 of play, including 0-of-7 shooting in
overtime. They shot 33.9 percent, making just seven of 30 shots
after halftime.
Division II Player of the Year Jayne Even scored just 14
points on 5-for-18 shooting.
“They were all over Jayne defensively, and their offensive
execution was much better than ours,” NDSU coach Amy Ruley
said.
The lead changed hands throughout the second half, but the
Bison used two free throws and a basket with 39 seconds left
to tie the score. Livingstone missed a potential game-winning 3pointer, NDSU turned over the ball, and Cottrell missed a heavily
guarded shot at the buzzer.
After 32 years as a university, another five minutes wasn’t too
much longer to wait.
“Everyone was tired, but we had so much adrenaline,” NKU
junior Julie Cowens said. “We knew we were wearing them out.”
NKU started the overtime strong, working the ball to Cottrell

for a bank shot 21 seconds into the period, then fed her for another basket and a four-point lead. It beat
NDSU’s press for three layups, and at 6:55 p.m. Eastern time, the long wait had ended.
The heartache over two previous Final Four losses
— in 1987 and last year — was gone. So was the sting
of the men’s basketball team’s losses in back-to-back
championship games in 1996 and ’97, the latter by a point.
This was NKU’s sixth NCAA Tournament team in the
last 13 months: women’s basketball (twice), women’s
tennis, volleyball, women’s soccer and men’s basketball.
The volleyball and soccer teams reached the Final Four.
“Our athletic program continues to grow,” President
James Votruba said.
The players, coaches and fans lingered on the court
afterward, many wearing stunned smiles.
“I can’t even believe it,” Athletic Director Jane
Meier said. “It’s so neat when you say, ‘NKU, national
champions.’ What a ring to it.”

running shot in the lane. Shari Johnson is fouled
with 4.1 seconds left, and she hits one of two free
throws to give South Dakota State a 68-67 lead.
After a timeout, a long pass goes to midcourt into

An improbable, unexpected comeback by a group of determined NKU
basketball players in March of 2003 meant...guess what?
HERE THEY GO AGAIN...TO THE ELITE EIGHT
INDIANAPOLIS - From every conceivable
angle, they were gone. Not just simply beaten, but
flat-out overwhelmed.
It was halftime of Monday night’s NCAA
Division II Great Lakes Region championship
game, and Quincy owned a 36-21 lead over
Northern Kentucky University. The Lady Hawks
had held the Norse to just 29.6 percent shooting
from the field, won the rebounding battle by a
whopping 28-13 margin and were preparing to
make reservations for the NCAA Division II Elite
Eight, a prize that awaited the winner of Monday’s
contest.
The Norse - playing without powerful inside
presence Sharell Snardon, who was out with an
injury - appeared to be 20 minutes away from
calling it a season.
Instead, they awoke. Maybe it’s the mammoth
tradition that’s been built during the past 28 years,
or perhaps it’s just a matter of just refusing to fold
in clutch situations in the postseason.
Whatever it is, NKU pulled off one of the
greatest comebacks in the history of its storied
women’s basketball program, and it is the Norse
who are now making reservations for St. Joseph,
Mo., and the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
Bridget Flanagan’s basket with 22 seconds
remaining snapped a 61-61 tie and lifted NKU to
an improbable 64-61 win over Quincy. It marked
the fourth time in the past five years that the
Norse - who stunned top-seeded Indianapolis on
Saturday - have captured the NCAA II Great Lakes
Region title and earned a berth in the Elite Eight.

Amy Mobley begins the net-cutting festivities after

NKU - which trailed by 16 points early in the
second half - used a 19-2 run to take a 40-39
lead on a 3-pointer by Amy Mobley with 12:25
remaining. Quincy eventually took a 57-52 lead
with 3:32 left, but NKU used a 9-4 spurt to tie the
game at 61-61 on a layup by Mobley.
After a Quincy turnover
with 53 seconds left,
Flanagan missed a jumper
that was rebounded by
Mobley. Her short stick-back
attempt rimmed out and was
rebounded by Flanagan,
who powered her way for
the go-ahead basket with 22
seconds remaining.
Mobley intercepted a
Quincy pass in the paint
on the Lady Hawks’ next
possession and found Jessica
Brock streaking the other way.
Brock was fouled with nine
seconds left and converted
one free throw to extend
NKU’s lead to 64-61.
Quincy called timeout with
5.5 seconds left to set up a
3-point attempt, but Tiffany
Kelver’s running shot from
beyond the arc bounced off
the rim at the buzzer.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever
seen one of my teams make
a comeback like this one, and
what a way to win a regional
championship,” NKU head
coach Nancy Winstel said.
“Quincy owned the first half and
looked ready to run us out of the
gym, but our players stepped
up and showed why they are
champions.”
Mobley, who finished with
19 points and five steals, was
named the tournament’s most
valuable player. Mobley also
had nine rebounds and five
assists.
“Amy has played on a
national championship team,
and she came up big at the
end,” Winstel said. “Bridget
Flanagan also made a huge
play with the offensive rebound
and layup, and our experience
in the NCAA Tournament helped
a great deal at the end.”
Kristin Polosky added 13
points for NKU, which trailed
36-21 at halftime. Connie

rebounds for the Norse.

NKU battles South Dakota State for the 2003 national championship — on
ESPN2
NKU players display the national runner-up trophy after dropping a 65-50 decision to South Dakota State on
March 29, 2003, at St. Joseph, Mo. More than 2,000 South Dakota State fans packed into the St. Joseph
Civic Center to give the Jackrabbits plenty of vocal support. NKU - which had knocked off No. 1 California
(Pa.) two nights earlier - finished with a 26-8 record.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — By halftime of the NCAA Division II national championship game, the
Jackrabbit Nation could sense it. And for good reason.
South Dakota State held a 32-17 lead over Northern Kentucky University at the break, and the
Jackrabbits did that despite shooting just 34.5 percent from the field. A raucous, pro-SDSU crowd of
2,556 - featuring the famed Jackrabbit Nation, SDSU’s enthusiastic fans
who had made the trip from Brookings, S.D. - could sense their first
national championship was just 20 minutes away.
The Jackrabbits did not disappoint their large following, as they
captured the NCAA Division II national championship with a 65-50 win
over NKU. SDSU, the preseason pick by many to win the 2003 national
title, finished the season with a 32-3 record.
NKU, meanwhile, closed the season with a 26-8 record after its
improbable run to the national title contest. The Norse entered the NCAA
Tournament as the No. 5 seed in the Great Lakes Regional, and few
expected NKU to earn its fourth trip to the Elite Eight in the past five
years.
“I’ll always remember this team, and how well they played during
Bridget Flanagan prepares
the
NCAA Tournament,” NKU head coach Nancy Winstel said. “After the
to shoot a 3-pointer.
way we played at our conference tournament, no one gave us a chance.
These players kept working at it, though, and they deserve a lot of credit.
72
“Our shots just did not go in today, and a lot of
them were good looks.”
NKU actually sliced the SDSU lead to nine
points twice in the second half, the last time on a
3-pointer by Bridget Flanagan with 12:37 remaining.
The Norse, however, converted just 6 of 15 free
throws in the second half and watched SDSU
eventually build a 17-point lead in the final minutes.
Melissa Pater led SDSU with 22 points and 11
rebounds to earn most outstanding player honors
for the Elite Eight. Pater tallied 12 points before
halftime, and SDSU led the entire game.
Sharell Snardon - who was named to the Elite
Eight’s All-Tournament Team - and Connie Myers
each scored 12 points to lead NKU. Amy Mobley
added 11 points and seven rebounds for the Norse.
Snardon said the crowd was loud, but it did not
affect her team’s performance.
“It was loud, but that’s what you like to see, and
I feed off something like that,” she said. “It was a
great atmosphere, but it was not the biggest crowd
I have ever played in front of. This was the biggest
game, though.”
SDSU won the rebounding battle by a 47-35
margin and forced NKU into 21 turnovers. The
Norse committed 16 of those miscues in the first
half.
“South Dakota State really gets after you
defensively, and they are a fine basketball team
and deserving champion,” Winstel said. “Every
time we made a run, they would hit a big shot or
get a loose ball, and they are really tough.”
Mobley, Flanagan and Kristin Polosky,
the final three remaining players from NKU’s
2000 national championship team, closed out
their careers Saturday. Polosky, a senior from
Bobtown, Pa., said she hopes her career is
remembered and measured by the success of
the team.
“Our legacy, I think, is as a team we were
winners, even though individually we might not
have the really big stats,” Polosky said. “I hope
they will remember us as a winning team that
brought recognition to NKU.”

LET THE CELEBRATION BEGIN!: NKU players celebrate their 63-58 victory over South Dakota for the
NCAA Division II national championship on March 29 at Kearney, Neb. NKU seniors Nicole Chiodi
and Angela Healy, pictured in front of the scoreboard, played major roles in the Norse’s quest for the
national title. Healy earned the most outstanding player honor for the Elite Eight after her 14-point,
13-rebound performance against South Dakota. Chiodi’s steady play and strong rebounding during
the NCAA Tournament were keys to NKU’s second national championship.
TOUGH-MINDED NORSE REFUSE TO FOLD,
CAPTURE 2008 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
K
EARNEY, Neb. - Due to an unusual
amount of stubborness displayed
by a group of underdogs this past
March, a surprising national champion emerged
from the NCAA Division II Tournament in women’s basketball.
Northern Kentucky University, which just
three weeks earlier found itself on the infamous
NCAA bubble, kept surviving, battled its way to
the regional title and eventually captured its second national championship. The Norse rallied
past South Dakota, 63-58, to claim the NCAA
national title in a game televised live on ESPN2.
NKU finished with a 28-8 record and added a second
national championship trophy to the collection, which
also includes the 2000 NCAA title.
But how did this group do it in 2008?
NKU began its postseason run by holding Southern Illinois at Edwardsville scoreless during the final
10 minutes of the game in a 68-56 win in the first
round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament. The Norse defeated Missouri S&T in the GLVC
semifinals, a victory which clinched their NCAA Tournament berth, then lost to Drury in the title game.
81
That game, in retrospect, fueled the Norse’s run
to the national championship.
“I thought we played well against Drury in that
loss, but I also knew it was not our best game and
you could tell the girls wanted another shot at them,”
NKU head coach Nancy Winstel said. “As it turned
out, we received the bid to the NCAA Tournament
and ended up in the same bracket with Drury. They
were the No. 1 seed and the home team, but I think
the way we played them in the GLVC Tournament let
our players know we could compete with them every
step of the way. But we knew we had to get by a
very good Indianapolis team in the first round of the
NCAA Tournament.”

The GLVC’s All-Tournament squad included Drury’s
Molly Carter (33) and Lindsay Ballweg (25), as
well as NKU’s Nicole Chiodi (12) and Jessie Slack.
Carter was named the most valuable player.
NKU found itself trailing by 16 points (26-10)
early in the first half against Indianapolis in that firstround game at Springfield, Mo. The Norse still trailed
by 15 points in the second half, but NKU responded
in big-time fashion. Angela Healy keyed an 11-2 run
with seven points as the Norse crept back to within
six points (37-31) with 14:59 left on the clock.
With Indianapolis holding a 44-36 lead and 9:10
remaining, Danyelle Echoles took over with her outside shooting. The junior guard from Colerain High
School drained a trio of 3-pointers during the next
four minutes. Her final trey cut the Indianapolis lead
to 50-49 with 4:36 left.
NKU eventually took a 55-50 advantage with
2:11 left in the game. Indianapolis fought back and
had a final chance to win in the closing seconds, but
Isabell Rhenwrick missed a driving layup and Healy
grabbed the rebound. Echoles was fouled and missed
the front end of the bonus with 2.4 seconds left, but
she rebounded her own miss and time expired.
“Indianapolis seemed to make every shot early in
the game, and I did not think we were playing defense
at a high level,” Winstel said. “We talked about it at
halftime, and I told the players that a 13-point deficit
isn’t impossible to overcome. We were lethargic in the
first half, and Indianapolis made us pay by jumping all
over us. But I also thought we did not fold and hung
tough. That allowed us to make some adjustments,
and we made our run in the second half.”
That set up the rematch with Drury, which beat
Bellarmine in the opening round. The fourth-seeded
Norse were ready for the top-seeded Panthers.

S
PRINGFIELD, Mo. - A stunned crowd
of 1,705 watched helplessly as Cassie
Brannen scored 15 of her career-high
29 points in the second half to lead fourth-seeded
NKU to an 84-65 win over top-seeded Drury in
the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Region semifinals.
Brannen, a junior post player from Mount
Notre Dame High School in Cincinnati, also
grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked three shots.
She finished 10-for-10 at the free-throw line and
added three assists. Jessie Slack netted 12 of
her 16 points during the final 20 minutes for the
Norse, who outscored the Lady Panthers 53-37
after the break. Slack buried a trio of 3-pointers
in the second half, including a trey while being
fouled with 14:29 left in the game.
That set up NKU with another rematch, this
one against Missouri S&T. The Norse claimed the
regional championship and trip to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight with a 60-52 victory.
Brannen scored a game-high 25 points on 8for-9 shooting from the field. She also converted
all eight of her free-throw attempts and grabbed
five rebounds. For her efforts, Brannen was
named the regional’s most outstanding player.
Slack added 12 points and seven rebounds
for NKU. Danyelle Echoles finished with nine
points and four assists, while Nicole Chiodi added
eight points and seven rebounds.

EARNEY, Neb. - Once they made it here, nothing was going to deny them the NCAA Division II
national championship. Not Wingate, not Alaska Anchorage and not even sentimental favorite South
Dakota, which was hoping to give retiring head coach Chad Lavin a national title in his final season
