It was apparent early on during the NAIA National Championship Round of 32 game against Southern Oregon University that the duo of Jasmyne Huggins and Kiara Brown would be a mismatch nightmare down low as the two seniors combined for eight rebounds in the first 10 minutes of the game. Overall, it was a solid start that saw Menlo hold a two point lead heading into the second period.

Southern Oregon had earned a 23 point lead before evaporating it all thanks to one of the grittiest 10 minutes of basketball the Oaks have played all year. The rally would really begin with roughly 4:20 on the clock with Kiara Brown knocking down a three to get the Oaks within 11 points. The following play would seize what little momentum the Raiders had left with Shay Boley doing her best impression of an NFL defensive back. Boley picked off a high arching inbounds pass, whipped a pass to Kiara Brown who then found an open Jordyn Rosette for a game tying three pointer.

Kiara Brown has long been viewed as one of the best players to ever suit up for Menlo. In an elimination game, on the road when her team needed her most, Brown strapped on a cape and submitted her best superwoman impression. In the final quarter of play Brown scored 10 points, grabbed two rebounds, dished out an assist and blocked a shot. Those 10 points would come on a close to perfect 4-5 shooting display. Number 11 in blue only further cemented her place in Menlo Women's Basketball history. Thank you to Kiara and the rest of the hard working Oaks, Women's Basketball stays alive in the post season and has earned their chance at the NAIA National Championship Final Site Tournament beginning with Campbellsville on Friday, March 22 at 9am!
