The University of Vermont women’s basketball team is making waves in the America East Conference with two conference titles in the past three years. Their recent victory over the top-seeded Albany Great Danes secured them a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Catamounts, coached by Alisa Kresge, will face the No. 2 seed North Carolina State Wolfpack. Kresge discussed the team’s success and defensive strategies in a recent interview. The team’s commitment to total defense has been a key factor in their success, despite lacking size in the paint. Players like Latvian native Nikola Priede have made significant impacts, with Priede nearly achieving a double-double in the championship game against Albany. The team’s closeness and support for each other have been instrumental in their success. As they prepare to face NC State, Kresge emphasizes the underdog mentality, focusing on playing their own game and giving it their all. The Catamounts will showcase their skills on a national stage as they take on NC State in the NCAA Tournament. The game will be broadcast on ESPN, allowing fans to cheer on this formidable team from Vermont.
