"He's kind of that rock and that anchor that you know is going to step up when it's time."

As Harding prepares for this weekend's DII Championships, pole vaulter Vlad Malykhin is eyeing what he called an "unlimited championship:"

8 titles in 4 years.

"I'm in the right place."

New dates this year! Come spend part of your summer with the Lady Bisons!

Harding's season comes to an end in heartbreaking fashion after pushing a top 15 team to the brink.

Plenty of youth on this Lady Bisons squad. They do not have a single senior on the roster. #D2Hoops

One man's thoughts on how the D-II Executive Committee, Championships Committee, and basketball committees could enhance D-II 🏀. Good luck to all those who have qualified or been selected for the field of 64 this week.

A 22 game conference schedule is really tough, but these young women are tougher and because of that they are the 2026 Great American Conference Champions! Great students, exceptional young women, and conference champions!
