GRAYSON, Ky. (WSAZ) - Kentucky Christian University has won their 11th national championship in NCCAA Division II.

The Lady Knights beat Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College, 76-68, in overtime Saturday at home.

KCU was the site of the 2008 National Christian College Athletic Association women's tournament for the second time in its history.

Jennifer Swann, Kentucky Christian's only senior, hit a game-tying three-point basket as time expired in regulation to force overtime. She finished with 19 points.

"I'm just glad I got another national. That's all I wanted," Swann said.

Christen Daniels scored 23 points in the championship game and was named tournament MVP.

"I did it for Swanny really, it's her last try," Christens said. "I just did everything I could to make it happen for her."

Della Kimble scored 22 points for runner-up Hillsdale.

To anynonamous: First of all, learn to spellcheck. Seriously! There will always be "sourgrapes" people who have nothing better to do than to ramble on stupidly and not make sense while doing it. That, my NOT dear friend, is you! Congratulations to the Lady Knights for all their hard work. It has paid off! Here we are a year later at another chance at the championships. May God bless each and every one of you. GO LADY KNIGHTS!

I am not from either side or schools of any team in the NCCAA and I think Ron is just a passionate coach that cares about his players and cares about winning. Let’s not judge the man for being an aggressive coach, especially judging his personal life. That is just wrong. I feel people have some anger towards KCU basketball because of their past success. There is only one thing that you can do, and that is showing them up on the court. Other wise just chill out and let them have their victory in peace
