Also found this little nugget about the Fort Hays women's team on their website:

Fort Hays State returns nine players from last year's squad that won the program's fourth MIAA title, finishing the year 22-4 and tying the MIAA record with 20 conference wins. It was the 12th overall conference title for the program. The Tigers also earned the top overall seed in the NCAA DII Central Region tournament, the fourth-straight year the team was picked to play in the tournament and the sixth time over the last seven years.

FYI - #17 - Uconn has players from 4 different countries (The USA is a country after all.) Pedantic I know.

she's the best to me that covers Uconn wbb, unlike whoever wrote this article the op posted. Wonder if "journalist" how many times he will keep saying that "sister of" or that she plays in Oregon when she plays in Georgia. He needs to get his facts straight before I take him seriously as a writer.
