SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The University of Dallas women's track and field team concluded the 2017 season on Friday and Saturday at the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Championship hosted by Trinity University. The host school prevailed on the women's side with 234 points. Texas Lutheran followed with 185 points for second and Colorado College had 130 to round out the top three.

Scoring 13-of-17 points for the Crusaders was Diana Hassink (Tulsa, Okla.). For the second time in April, she earned personal records (PRs) in all three throwing events performed: Shot Put, Hammer Throw, and Discus Throw. The junior dual athlete that also plays volleyball, capped a stellar first season with a school record in the Hammer Throw on Friday (36.53 Meters) and notched second in the Shot.
