The latest Lady Trojan diary from the 30th Annual NAIA Division 1 Women's Basketball National Championships... with Head Coach Gary Van Atta

WEDNESDAY (3/17) … following the Lady Trojans upset of third-seeded William Woods. 

"Last night we had our picture taken with 13 other teams in our 147 Million Orphans t-shirts at Oman Arena. Instead of purchasing NAIA t-shirts we purchased the 147 Million Orphans shirts. Each t-shirt purchased feds an orphan for one week. As of yesterday NAIA teams had helped feed 800."
147 Million Orphans Press Release

THURSDAY (3/18) ... The team is enjoying their day off, but practiced at 8:00 a.m. in preparation for our game with Campbellsville Friday at 9 a.m.

"Following practice we visited West Tennessee Healthcare pediatric ward and played, painted and made bracelets with three special children. After many laughs, songs, knock-knock jokes and a flood gate of tears, our players helped put smiles on faces of these children and their families."

"I am more proud of these young women today than I am following any victory they have ever given us on the basketball court. They are true Christian athletes who genuinely made three sick children very happy today."

"Lunch with our sponsor, Farm Bureau insurance, is next. The owners, Tony and Kim Johnson, have a son named Taylor who graduated from Trevecca last year. He was worship leader at several chapels last year at Trevecca."

"They say they love Trevecca for what it has meant to them and their family since Taylor began attending. Now their daughter Abby is hoping to attend TNU next fall...  Trevecca... Your influence never ceases to amaze me!"
