Women’s basketball head coach J.J. Riehl reflected on this season coinciding with the 50th anniversary of women’s sports on the hilltop. “I think women's basketball and women's sports in general, but specifically women's basketball, there's a huge growth in the popularity in how many people are watching it and how many people are endorsing it and how many people are supporting it,” Riehl said. “I think it's just a huge, unbelievable time to be a part of women's basketball. I think all of that just comes back to an overwhelming sense of gratitude that I get to do this at a place that I truly love. And yeah, it's going to be a cool year. Lots of cool celebrations, lots of cool alums coming back throughout the year. I'm just excited, honestly, I'm excited to showcase our team… so proud of them, not just as basketball players, but as leaders and human beings. And so I couldn't be more proud to be the 50th year with this group. I think St. Ed's basketball is in great hands with them.”
