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 on the Coyote sideline. When the women of Northern Kentucky University earned the trip to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight, no one was going to stop them. The Norse cruised past Wingate (N.C.) in the opener, 78-65, and then survived a battle against Alaska Anchorage by a 57-54 score in the semifinals. NKU then claimed its second national championship by outlasting South Dakota, 63-58.
