Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Kari Hoffman might have had a motivational edge in beating out Miami, Northern Kentucky and IUPUI to land former Malone star Alexis Hutchison from the transfer portal.
Hoffman knew what it was like playing against the Centerville product and didn’t want to repeat the experience.
“She beat us a couple years at Malone when I was at Cedarville,” Hoffman said. “We knew about her competitiveness. We’ve watched her game for years.”
Hutchison remembers those matchups well.
“It was always great competition because we were rivals. There was one time where they had pink confetti come down (early in the game), and they took a technical foul from it. We ended up winning by two because of the technical,” Hutchison said with a laugh.
Malone had to wait until the floor was swept and took the celebration as an insult.
