NEAGLE'S NOTES:
"These ladies made history this year and I am so proud of each and every one of them," said NSU head coach
Doug Neagle. "It's never easy to come this far and lose, but we made it to the Final Four in the entire country. We didn't reach our ultimate goal of that national championship, but the journey is what it's all about. These ladies are going to have unbelievable memories for a lifetime. The bond they share is incredible. In all my years coaching, I've never seen a team this close that loves and supports each other the way they do. I am lucky to be their coach!"
