Perfection! Kirkwood claims 7th national title
HARRISON, Ark. - It took Kim Muhl seven years to claim his seventh national title at Kirkwood after winning his sixth crown in 2010, but it was worth the wait.
The top-ranked Eagles put an exclamation point on their perfect season Saturday night with a 61-46 victory over third-ranked Johnson County in the championship game of the NJCAA Division II tournament at Pioneer Pavilion.
Kirkwood finished the season with a 37-0 record and became the first women's basketball team in school history to roll through an entire campaign without losing a single contest.
The Eagles won their 37 games by an average margin of 30.5 points with a deep and talented club that refused to lose.
Muhl has pocketed national titles in 1997, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and now 2017, adding to his status as one of the most successful coaches in junior college history.
