The Rise of the Lady Matadors preview

April 6th, 2022

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Arizona Western College Women's Basketball just finished one of it's greatest break out seasons in program history.

The Lady Matadors came out of nowhere, going from unranked to a top 8 finish in only their 2nd appearance in the National Junior College Athletics Association Tournament.

Even critical losses of some of the team's key players didn't stop the Lady Mats from pulling off a historic winning streak, helping spark their improbable postseason run.

In our News 11 exclusive report, we chronicle the Lady Mats road to the NJCAA Tournament and share the legacy of outgoing Head Coach Patrick Cunningham.

Join us for "The Rise of the Lady Matadors" on Thursday night on our Early Edition program at 5 pm local time.
