COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. — The Ole Miss women’s basketball team will end their season playing for a championship.
The Rebels defeated Northern Iowa 60-50 in the semifinal round of the WNIT at Collierville High School on Friday, sending them to Sunday’s WNIT Championship game against Rice at 1 p.m.
When Madison Scott signed with Ole Miss and spoke with head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin, playing for a championship, let a let alone winning one, was goal for down the road. Sunday’s opportunity was expected to be in the cards in 2021.
Scott, who has won a state championship at the high school level and with her AAU team, is looking to win her first collegiate postseason championship on her first try with the Rebels.
