The Pima College women's basketball team finished in eighth place at the NJCAA Division II National Tournament after a 65-47 loss to Arkansas State University Mid-South on Saturday.
Pima's Sierra Mich'l finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds in the consolation game, as the Aztecs fell behind 16-3 after the first quarter.
The Aztecs, which were seeded ninth at the event, finish the year at 5-5 after getting a late start to the season due to COVID-19 protocols.
“Many people may look at eighth place as a disappointment, but not me. This team overcame zoom calls, COVID tests, postponement after postponement, cancellations and every other setback and yet, they persevered,” Pima women’s basketball coach Todd Holthaus said in a press release.
“The goal (is to) make it to Nationals and play on the last day. Mission accomplished.”
