WWU women advance to national quarterfinal

Western Washington University women's basketball coach Carmen Dolfo's voice sounded ... well, like you'd expect a head coach's voice to sound after coaching three postseason games in four days.

Her star senior guard Corinn Waltrip wore the nylon net she and her teammates had just cut down from the West rim at Sam Carver Gymnasium around her neck like a badge of honor.

The Viking women, who've heard so much about the men's national championship from a season ago, now will get a chance to go and play for their own.
