TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Providence won the 2013 NCAA National Championship on Saturday with 141 points in cold and windy conditions at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center (6k).

A year removed from a second-place finish, the Friars took the title, its first since 1995. Senior Emily Sisson was the Friars' top finisher with a seventh place finish with a time of 20:17.5.

Senior Laura Nagel was the second Friar to cross the line (20:38.8), finishing 27th overall. Sophomore Sarah Mary Collins finished in 39th with a time of 20:44.9. By virtue of their top-40 finishes, Sission, Nagel and Collins earned All-America honors.

"The women were brilliant," head coach Ray Treacy said. "It was a difficult course with tough conditions. Sarah really pulled through at half-way mark."
