The Army West Point Women’s Team Handball brought home its fifth consecutive Collegiate National Championship in Chapel Hill, NC. West Point Black dominated all weekend, defeating West Point Gold and the University of Carolina in the round robin play prior to the final match. Additionally, WP Black tied the UNC Alumni team 14-14 in a very hard fought match. Rising senior, and future co-captain, CDT Cora Moody, was awarded the Highest Scorer. Wings CDT Dana Robertson and CDT Lindsay Kiernan played intense offense, securing most of the wing shots for WP Black. On the other hand, shooters CDT’s Cora Moody, Abby Toth, Kianna Duncan, and Olivia Beattie posed a threat from the outside. Due to the team’s diverse shooting capability, teams were forced to play fair defense across the court. Although offense was on point, it was WP’s defense that secured the victories. West Point Gold also made a good showing, losing to the University of Carolina only by a few points in its opening match. WP Gold finished third overall in the tournament, but have shown exponential growth throughout the semester and will continue to improve. Overall, both teams had an amazing weekend and are proud of their accomplishments.
