Thirteen Women Strong: The Making of a Team

Thirteen Women Strong: The Making of a Team chronicles the 2006–2007 season of the Northern Kentucky University women’s basketball team. Led by a core of upperclassmen and revered head coach Nancy Winstel, the NKU Norse rallied to yet another remarkable season despite injuries and early losses. Author Robert K. Wallace was granted unparalleled access and followed the players through practices, drills, emotional meetings, and, of course, heart-stopping play. Including compelling interviews with the players themselves, Thirteen Women Strong welcomes readers into the lives of young women whose world is made up of equal parts pressure and accomplishment.
