NE10 RELEASE
2013-14 Bentley Women's Basketball
Perfection. When it comes to the Bentley women’s basketball program in the 2013-14 season, the Falcons were indeed perfect – sporting a 35-0 record on their way to the program’s first-ever NCAA National Championship, as well as the first national title for head coach Barbara Stevens in her Hall of Fame career. Bentley used a late 19-5 run in the final minutes against West Texas A&M to claim a 73-65 victory on March 28, 2014 in the Erie Insurance Arena, completing a miraculous season that included a remarkable 21-0 record in NE10 play. Class of 2019 inductee Lauren Battista was named Division II Player of the Year that season, while Stevens earned WBCA Division II National Coach of the Year.
The 2013-14 Bentley women’s basketball team is the second NE10 women’s basketball team to win a national title and be inducted into the league’s Hall of Fame.
