Hundreds attended a celebration Monday to support one of the most successful basketball programs in the country.
"Coming here to Carleton, I knew how hard they work, and I knew it was a possibility at some point that we could get to this point. And to be able to say that we've done it is amazing," said Pocrnic."I felt the support from the community when I arrived here three years ago and they're with you either way,” says Sinclair. “And it's really great to be able to bring a championship back home for them.
Taffe Charles, the Ravens men's head coach, also expressed his gratitude for the support from the community, saying, "Just to have the community support that we have and I've heard a lot from a lot of people, really excited about the game we played, but also happy with the women's basketball team. Just being able to support both teams and you know, again, because they do support both teams, having them both here is amazing.
"It's wonderful. It's just a dream come true," says Armstrong. "For me, to see the program develop the way it did, it was just amazing. I'm still in awe, that now we've won two championships within six years."
