SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The Pittsburg State (Ks.) women’s basketball team started its season in the South Central Regional Challenge hosted by St. Mary’s and now it will end its season on the same floor as eight teams begin their quest for the National Championship Game on Friday.

“We’re excited,” Pitt State head coach Lane Lord said. “I know the community’s excited. We started our season in San Antonio about five months ago when we played St. Mary’s, host school of this national tournament, and Tarleton State. Here we are five months later at the same exact gym.”

Pitt State (27-5) defeated No. 20 Tarleton State and St. Mary’s its opening weekend, 76-64 and 61-56. Brooke Conley scored a game-high 25 points against Tarleton and Lizzy Jeronimus added 15 in her collegiate debut. Larissa Richards paced the Gorillas with 19 points against the Rattlers of St. Mary’s.

Players and coaches discovered Bill Greehey Arena would be hosting the national championship and it became a conversational piece for the Gorillas.
