A Great Tournament Run for Arundel Grad

Sheronne Vails helped lead the Louisville women's basketball team to the national title game.

Sheronne Vails already had two high school basketball championships on her resume, and was hoping to add a national collegiate title. 

The Arundel High graduate's dream fell short Tuesday as Louisville fell in the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship to Connecticut, 93-60. 

Vails helped lead the Lady Cardinals to the title game as a fifth seed, and the team captured national attention by knocking off top-ranked Baylor last week. In that game, she was matched up against reigning National Player of the Year Britney Griner.

Vails helped lead the Arundel Wildcats to two state titles, the last in 2010.
