On the recordMay 15, 2024
On March 26, Dordt University women's basketball won the 2024 NAIA Women's Basketball National Championship. Led by Head Coach Bill Harmsen, the Defenders defeated the University of Providence by a score of 57-53 to secure their first-ever national championship. With this championship victory, the Defenders finished the season with a nine-game winning streak and ended with a program- best 35-2 record. This is an incredible milestone in the history of this program. I thank the head coach and the girls' basketball team for their hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship that has elevated Dordt's women's basketball team on the national stage. I congratulate women's basketball Coach Bill Harmsen on a successful season and look forward to cheering him on in the Defenders' 2025 and 2026 seasons. ____________________
