A N a T S U G U A USF Vs. ALL KETB
S WOMEN’S BA
If you’ve ever seen the USF women’s basketball team play, you immediately understand the talent and closeness of the group. At the start of the 20212022 season, the team signed eleven players, and since that time the women have continuously proved themselves on the court. The Cougars had a rough start to the season and lost the first two games back-to-back. As the season progressed, they continued to face tough competitors from the north and south divisions. Along the way, the team found a way to win when it mattered most. To ensure that the team would host the first-round playoff game in the NSIC Sanford Health Tournament, they had to beat their longtime rival, Augustana University. Covid-19 changed the nature of sports forever. Weekly covid tests, mask mandates, and vaccinations stripped many athletes of the true nature of sports. This year was different. The stands were full, emotions were high, and adrenaline filled the players.
