The WSU’s magical run through the WNIT finally came to an end in the semifinals Wednesday night when the Cougars lost on the road to Georgia Tech, 69-61.
Anyone who would question the use of the word “magical” in reference to a series of wins in a non-NCAA tournament context has clearly not been paying attention to this squad. The obstacles they overcame to get to this point — notably, numerous injuries to key players — made this a noteworthy run for a program that has had precious little postseason success in its entire existence. In fact, these were the first four postseason wins in school history.
