For the third time in four seasons, Misty Opat and the RVC women's basketball team were crowned national champions after defeating Roxbury Community College, 80-76 in overtime, on March 14, 2015, in Bethlehem, PA.

Samantha Rundblade's three-pointer in the closing seconds of regulation tied the game at 68 and sent it into overtime for the Golden Eagles.

After winning back-to-back national championships in 2012 and 2013, RVC fell short in the 2014 championship game. Not this time. The Golden Eagles may have had an "off" season in 2014-15 compared to recent seasons in the Opat era, losing seven games, including two straight games in conference play in February. But after those back-to-back losses to Milwaukee Area Technical College and Madison College, the Golden Eagles did not lose again, ripping off nine straight wins on their way to a third national championship in four seasons and a 27-7 overall record for the season.
