Immaculata University: The Birthplace of Modern College Women’s Basketball.

兰德尔·S. Shantz (Originally published in 1997)

Nothing about Immaculata College basketball was normal after Normal.

这是正常的, 在伊利诺斯州, home of Illinois State University, site of the 1972 national basketball championships.

The story of the precocious Macs (not yet anointed with the “mighty” designation that would soon become part of their nickname forever) and their implausible run to the first of three consecutive national championships needs not be retold here in detail because, as monstrous as that title was, it became but a small part of the school’s bequest to women’s college basketball.

基本事实是:

• Immaculata entered the tournament as the second-place team from the east behind 西切斯特 State after losing to the Golden Rams 70-38 in the regional final.
• The Macs opened championship play with a 60-47 victory over South Dakota State, survived a second-round scare to defeat Indiana State 49-47, and then held off defending national titlist 密西西比州 State College for Women, the top seed in the 16-team field, 46-43.
• In the championship game against old nemesis 西切斯特 (which had sent its third team to play the Macs during the regular season), Immaculata rose to the occasion and avenged the 32-point regional loss a week earlier with a 52-48 victory.
