Part of what interested Brooke Haren in playing basketball for Ursuline College—a private, Catholic, majority-women’s institution in Pepper Pike, Ohio—is its membership in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference.
In 2011, the college helped create the conference after struggling to find one interested in accepting its Division II women’s sports teams. Fifteen years later, the conference includes 13 member institutions across Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio.
“Being in GMAC means my family can watch me,” said Haren, a shooting guard from Louisville, Ohio, which is an hour away from Ursuline’s campus. “The majority of my games are in Ohio and within driving distance so my support system can come … My mom’s my biggest fan. You’ll never come to a game and not hear her yell her head off.”
