Albany State women leaning on faith, unity for NCAA Tournament opener

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida  — When the Lady Rams step on the court tonight for their NCAA Division II Tournament opener, they will do so in faith.
 
Faith in God, in each other and in a dream.
 
“But most importantly in God,” Albany State senior Kourtney Alexander said.
 
It’s a credence the Lady Rams don’t shy away from when asked what has made this season so special, and it’s one they talk about boldly when asked what will make the difference in today’s game against Delta State.
 
Freshman Tip Holston calls the Lady Rams the “most-praying team in all of college basketball,” and the players believe it’s those prayers that have carried them on this season’s remarkable run.
 
“We pray before every practice. We pray after every practice,” Alexander said. “Every time we have a bad practice or a bad game, we pray even harder and longer.”
