Plymouth Whitemarsh High School graduate Kaitlyn Flanagan is set to appear in the NCAA Tournament for the second year as a member of the Holy Cross women’s basketball team. Flanagan, who helped lead Plymouth Whitemarsh to a state championship in 2022, is a sophomore at Holy Cross and plays guard.

Holy Cross made the field of 64 in the 2024 tournament by defeating UT Martin by a score of 72-45 in the play-in games. Holy Cross will now face No. 1 seed Iowa, which is led by Caitlyn Clark, who claimed the all-time scoring title for NCAA Division I basketball (breaking “Pistol Pete” Maravich’s record).

Since arriving at Holy Cross, Flanagan has been named to the 2022-23 Patriot League All-Rookie Team, was a Patriot League Rookie of the Week (2/27/23), and recognized for academics by making the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll (2022-23).

In the 2023 tournament, Holy Cross lost to Maryland in the first round.

The game against Iowa is on Saturday, March 23rd at 3:00 p.m. and is being broadcast by ABC.
