Donaldson's consistency key for Vikings' future
Western Washington University's women's basketball team was staring up at a 58-50 deficit in the final five minutes of play against the University of Alaska-Anchorage.
The Seawolves had seen their two-point deficit at the start of the second half swell to as many as nine, but no panic came from the Vikings' huddle. And just before it broke, the final words didn't come from their coach, Carmen Dolfo, but their junior post, Sydney Donaldson.
"We're not going to lose this game," said Donaldson, looking at every single one of her teammates.
