WASHINGTON – Plenty of strong teams, including Notre Dame who reached the NCAA Sweet 16 last season, await the American University women's basketball team as the Eagles begin their title defense after winning the Patriot League Tournament last year. American is now under the leadership of first-year head coach
Tiffany Coll, promoted to the position after nine years with the program.

HOME SWEET HOME
