AU Women’s Basketball Team gets ready for the Big Stage

Ashland University Kates Gym. At 36-0, the Ashland University Women’s basketball team will take on Minnesota Duluth on Saturday with the tip at 2:30 pm our time with the game being played in Dallas, Texas. Hallie Hiedeman says the team puts in the work during the off-season. Even though it’s D-2 and we get summers away and we are not here with the team that does not take away from all the hard work that goes into preparing for the season.” said Hiedemann. Despite going 9-19 from the line and turning the ball over 26 times the AU ladies still found a way to win. ” I feel like when we came together we played like we know how and were able to get the job done said sophomore Hayle Smith. Minnesota Duluth will enter the game with the NCAA Women’s Division 2 player of the year Brook Olson it will be to the Eagles to try and slow her down. I think it’s more or less playing team defense, not just one individual,” said sophomore Hayle Smith. She is an amazing player, but I think if we play together and do what we know how to do we will do well.” said Smith.
