OMAHA, Neb.— The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) won the 2008 NCAA Women’s National Championship on Saturday evening at Thunder Alley in Omaha, Nebraska. “I’m speechless,” said a grinning Coach Sharon Brummell. “After last year, I thought we could contend for the championship.” Contend they did, but there is a much larger story to tell. The Hawks went into the tournament ranked second in the country and were the runners-up to the National Championship in 2007. They started slow however and qualified seventh on the first day and had to fight their way to the title. Fight they did. UMES Photos
