For their last basketball game in Foster Auditorium, Alabama seniors Nikki Hegstetter and Khadijah Carter helped make history.
The Crimson Tide defeated Tennessee, 54-46, Thursday night, putting an end to the Lady Volunteers’ 42-game winning streak. The last time the Crimson Tide knocked off the Lady Vols was on March 3, 1984. Alabama coach Kristy Curry said she didn’t know it had been that long, but she’s proud of her team.
“It’s a special night for the seniors, and that’s how a team is supposed to play on senior night,” she said.
If the last three quarters were anything like the first, the ending would have been a coin toss.
