I love following along with the women’s basketball team. They are doing amazing this year!! Moving on to the final four is truly amazing, and I cannot wait to see how far they go. This team is truly dedicated and have a great team chemistry, which is also so entertaining to watch.
I have to admit that I don’t follow other UWW sports teams as much as our football team, but congrats to the women’s team! I wish them luck.
Thank you for the updates on the Women’s basketball team. I was not there so this blog post kept me up to date. That is really exciting that they will be moving on to the final four. It looks like they are doing very well and if they keep up their hard work it should end well.
