The Jamestown College Women's Basketball team had to wait patiently for the last 6 days, but it definitely paid off. The Jimmies received an at-large bid today to the NAIA 32 Team National Tournament at Sioux City, IA. The Jimmies now wait to hear what seed they are and who they will play, which will be released on Thursday.
The Jimmies currently 20-9, make their first trip to the National Tournament as a member of the DAC conference. This is the first time since 1999-2000 that the Jimmies move onto the National Tournament. This is also the first year since 1999-2000 that the Jimmies won 20 games.
The Jimmies have persevered all season, including 2 season ending injuries to 2008 All-Conference performers Giuli Varriano and Cori Doubek before the season started. Then, shortly before Christmas, the Jimmies lost starting guard, Katie O'Neill to a season ending injury. Credit to the girls, the Jimmies hung tough, different players stepped up, and they found ways to win.
The Jimmies are especially happy for Senior Heidi Fiechtner. Heidi, who was just named First Team All-Conference has been a major player all season for the Jimmies. Juniors Ali Edwards, Amanda Rantapaa, and Allison Epping have all provided highlights throughout season along with a number of other players.
