After ending their 2021-22 season 22-8 and winning the WIAC Championship, the Blugold women's basketball team is looking forward to another successful season.

This year's schedule includes six teams that participated in the 2022 NCAA tournament including last season's National Champion Hope College and Final Four participant Trine. The Hope College tournament played in Holland, MI and our holiday tournament that will be played in Greencastle, IN will be a tremendous opportunity for our team to be challenged prior to conference play. We are especially looking forward to seeing our fans back in Zorn arena again after such a memorable opportunity to host the NCAA sectional last season." stated Coach Englund.
