The crowd was tremendous and everything that you want to get out of the WNIT experience, our team is doing so and I’m proud of that. We’re winning basketball games, I think we’re creating a buzz with our fan base, and probably most important, our kids are getting better.”

“Rachel’s maturation into the point guard position has just been fantastic,” Brooks said. “The way that she’s grown and the way she’s gotten us to do some of the things we’ve been able to do has been tremendous. That’s only going to bode well for her in the future with her ball handling experience.”
Camp scored 17 points on the afternoon, doing most of her damage at the free throw line, hitting 13 of 14 attempts. She also grabbed six rebounds.
Regan Magarity continued her fantastic season, tallying her 15th double-double of the campaign with 12 points and 10 rebounds. She also protected the rim with three blocks and dished out four assists.
Alabama (20-14) was led in scoring by Jasmine Walker with 16 points, while Ashley Williams recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
