A member of four Hall of Fames, Jeremiah's teams have appeared in the NCAA Tournament every place she has coached. She took Indiana to the Sweet Sixteen and won a National Championship with the University of Dayton.

This is the third consecutive year the GSAC has had its conference championship games televised live on a regional or national platform.

"Our relationship with FCS presents tremendous opportunities for the Golden State Athletic Conference to gain national and regional exposure for its universities," said Golden State Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Daniels. "We have made great strides as a conference to showcase the talent we have at the NAIA level."

The GSAC consists of nine NAIA schools based in California and Arizona and is one of the premier conferences in the NAIA. The conference is home to the defending men's basketball national champion, Vanguard University. Currently, eight universities are ranked in the NAIA top 25 for both the men and the women led by fourth-ranked Hope International for the men and sixth-ranked Concordia University for the women. The GSAC is in its 29th year of existence.
