Women's Basketball Season Canceled

Despite our best efforts to recruit and support a full team, we have unfortunately been unable to secure enough players for this season. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the women’s basketball season for this year. We value the enthusiasm and support shown by our student-athletes, coach and fans and remain committed to fostering competitive athletics at Blackhawk. This decision was not made lightly, and we will continue working to build and sustain a strong team next year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Nile Finney, our Athletics Director, at nfinney@blackhawk.edu.
