Players dedicate themselves to constant improvement

Although basketball is a winter sport at The Summit, “A lot of the girls put time into summer ball," Coach Beth Simmons says. "That’s all very important in building a program. There’s a lot of out-of-season work we do to get better in-season."

That dedication has paid dividends for a program that has won six MVC Scarlet Division titles in the last decade, including a run of four years when the team went undefeated (2015-18).
