Ada's latest news

We have lots of Friday night sideline photos

Monty Siekerman shares his photos from Friday night's ONU women's victory below:

• Celebration huddle after the game in mid court. The ONU women owned the court Saturday night, decisively beating a team which had only 1 loss all season.

• Standing next to the trophy in King Horn, are Joe Campoli, coach of the 1993 ONU men's basketball team which won the NCAA Division III national tournament, and ONU coach head women's coach Michelle Durand, who just might take home a similar trophy next weekend. When the women win (hopefully) Saturday at King Horn, it's off to the Final Four in Grand Rapids, Mich.
