The End of a Historic Season...

The Zips had their NCAA Tournament run dashed by Purdue this afternoon, but it was a mere blip on the radar of what was the most successful and memorable season in the 40-year history of Akron women's basketball.
UA tied the record it set last year for most wins in a single season at 23, won its first ever Mid-American Conference title and made its first appearance in the "Big Dance". The five seniors - Kacie Cassell, Cari Guyton, Hanna Luburgh, Rachel Tecca and Carly Young - will hang up their shoes with the Blue and Gold as the winningest class to come through the program, collecting 74 victories in four years.
In the postgame press conference, Coach Kest did not hesitate in saying that one game does not define this season, nor discredit the quality of work this team has put in to make the program what it is today. Hear from Coach, Kacie Cassell and Rachel Tecca in the video below:
