Third quarter outbursts are nothing new for Clarke University's No. 8-ranked women's basketball team. Outrebounding its opponents by considerable margins is also a common occurrence. Coach Courtney Boyd's squad trailed Northwestern College (Iowa) 43-40 at halftime of Saturday's NAIA Women's Basketball Championship Opening Round championship in Omaha, Neb., but the Pride responded, outscoring the Red Raiders 34–16 in the third quarter and punching a ticket to the 40th annual NAIA Women's Basketball National Championship, slated for March 18-23 in Sioux City, Iowa, with a 95-78 win.
