The University of Alabama’s women’s wheelchair basketball team won their 5th consecutive national title this past week.
Led by tournament MVP Bailey Moody, the Tide defeated the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) 67-52 in the championship game, which was played at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Alabama avenges only losses
The win over UTA avenged the team’s only three losses during the regular season.
“We have had some great battles with UTA throughout the season. We knew that chances were we would face off in the final with them to decide the national championship.
The team worked hard the last two weeks preparing for a few specific things we thought they might throw at us. The girls executed our game plan to near perfection. Even when UTA went on a run in the second half, we didn’t blink. We stuck to the game plan and made some huge plays late to secure the victory.”
Ryan Hynes, Tide Head Coach told the UA News Center
11th National Championship
Created in 2003, the University of Alabama Adapted Athletics program is one of the most successful in the nation.
In addition to the women’s wheelchair basketball program, the men play wheelchair basketball and wheelchair tennis.
In 2025, Bama added wheelchair track teams.
This year’s title is the women’s wheelchair basketball team’s 11th in its storied history.
