SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

• "The Wildcats have now won the Crossroads League Tournament 30 years in a row. The women's record against Conference opponents for the last 30 years is 306-2! What an incredible winning tradition. This just might be the best record in all college sports at any level or any sport. We stand on the shoulders of all the players over the last 30 years and Coach Porter who started this winning tradition way back in 1992. Coach Porter carried this streak for 22 years."
• "Our women's team this year is absolutely amazing; we love these girls and are super proud of them!"
