All the hard work and victories are paying off for University of Miami women’s basketball coach Katie Meier and her team.
On Monday morning, the school announced the largest donation in UM women’s basketball program history. Longtime super-fan BJ Abolt pledged a seven-figure estate gift to establish a women’s basketball scholarship endowment named after Meier at Abolt’s request. It will be the first fully-endowed women’s athletics scholarship at Miami and will pay for a full scholarship for a member of the team.
The announcement capped an exciting week for the Hurricanes, who have quietly made their way into the national conversation this season heading into Sunday’s nationally-televised road game at No.
