Spartans Lose in Storm Lake-Game Date-02/11/2009

The University of Dubuque Spartans lost Wednesday night to the Buena Vista University Beavers by a score of 79-91, but kept hopes alive for the final qualifying spot for the IIAC Tournament.

Spartans to Participate in WBCA Pink Zone-Game Date-02/09/2009

The University of Dubuque womens basketball team will be wearing pink uniforms for their final four games of the regular season in honor of promoting the Womens Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Pink Zone. The official WBCA Pink Zone" contest will be the final game of the regular season when the Spartans face the Loras College Duhawks on Jon Davison Court in Stoltz Sports Center on February 21, 2009. UD will be sponsoring a variety of information tables and will have many giveaways through the afternoon. The Spartans pink uniforms were made by Ace Jerseys and donated by Keith and Lydia Noll.

The WBCA Pink Zone" initiative is a global, unified effort for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. (The WBCA began the WBCA Pink Zone", formerly known as "Think Pink", in 2007 as an initiative to raise breast cancer awareness in women's basketball, on campuses and in communities. In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for this effort and helped make the inaugural year a success. In 2008, over 1,200 teams and organizations participated, reaching over 830,000 fans and raising over $930,000 for breast cancer awareness and research.

WBCA Pink Zone" 2009(The WBCA Pink Zone" dates for 2009 begin this week, February 13-22. The WBCA encourages all participants to donate to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. Visit www.wbca.org/kayyowwbcacancerfund.asp for more information. The late Kay Yow, former North Carolina State University head women's basketball coach, was a past president and founding member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), and a galvanizing voice for the Association.

Yow was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987, and passed away on January 24, 2009, after facing her third bout with the disease. In her 38 years as a head coach at the college-level, Yow was one of only six Division I head women's basketball mentors to achieve 700 career victories. Yow was also the head coach of the 1988 US Olympic Team which won the gold medal in Seoul.

Involvement doesnt stop with coaches and student-athletes, the NCAA has also joined the WBCA Pink Zone" initiative by implementing the "Calling for a Cure" campaign for all officials where all NCAA women's basketball officials blow a pink whistle during this time.

Fans are encouraged to wear pink for the following four games:
Feb. 11 at Buena Vista University 6:00 p.m.
Feb.14 at Coe College 2:00 p.m.
Feb. 18 vs Luther College 6:00 p.m.

Spartans Stay in Hunt for IIAC Tournament Spot-Game Date-02/07/2009

The University of Dubuque women's basketball team kept their hopes alive for making the IIAC Tournament on Saturday when they cruised to a 86-75 win over the Central College Dutch.

Jennifer Nichols led all scorers with 21 points on 6-12 shooting from the field. Briana Nelson added 20 points in 25 minutes of action. Brittany Bullock came off the bench and sank three from the outside to finish with nine points. The defense for both teams would force 21 turnovers to one another.

UD sank 30-62 shots from the field, 9-20 from three point area, and 17-26 from free throw line. The Spartans improved their IIAC mark to 4-8 and remain two games out of six place.

The Spartans will make the trek across Iowa to play the Buena Vista University Beavers on Wednesday.

Spartans Out Play Knights in Overtime Loss-Game Date-01/31/2009

The University of Dubuque women's basketball team played one of their best games of the season, but lost an edge of your seat thriller on Saturday in Waverly by a score of 74-76.

UD trailed by six points after the opening 20 minutes of play and would push the hosts Knights to the brink. As time counted down, UD had .8 seconds left on the clock and needed to go the length of the Levick Arena for the regulation victory. A time out by head coach Mark Noll, gave him time to set-up a screen play at half court. The pass sailed through the air and caught by starting guard Brianna Nelson, took one dribble and launched the ball from near half court and watched it go through the net, only to be waved off by the officials, sending the contest into overtime.

The Spartans put together one of their best overall games of the season, hitting for over 46% from the field, out rebounding the hosts 40-31, but the night would fall just a couple of points short in overtime.

The Spartans will enjoy a near week break before hosting the Central College Dutch on Feb. 7 in Stoltz Sports Center before trekking across the state to Storm Lake for a mid-week contest on February 11.

The University of Dubuque women's basketball team won on Wednesday night, but the visiting Clarke College Crusaders fought a valiant effort in a 79-72 loss.

Spartans Open Iowa Conference Play at Home-Game Date-12/03/2008

The University of Dubuque women's basketball team started Wednesday night's contest colder than the 20 degree temperature outside of Stoltz Sports Center. The Spartans couldn't find the basket from anywhere on the court in the opening half of play and finished sinking 5-32 attempts (15.6%) from the field. UD found their mojo and came out and shot 41.2% from the field in the final half of action. UD out scored the visiting Wartburg College Knights by nine points, but the first half deficit was to much to overcome in the 55-69 loss.

Katelyn Herrman led UD in scoring after finishing with 14 points, five rebounds, and four steals. Aimee Reyzer came off the bench to add eight points and four assists. The Spartans finished the night struggling at the free throw line as well, sinking 9-22 attempts (40.9%). The Spartans were out rebounded 39-55 in the ragged game which saw both squads combine for 43 turnovers.

The loss dropped the Spartans to 2-4 overall, and 0-1 in league play. UD will travel to Pella on Saturday, Dec. 6 with tip-off scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

Jennifer Nichols Briana Nelson both finished with eight points each as teammates Krystal Parr and Katelyn Herrman added seven points in the loss.

UW-Milwaukee women's basketball team was picked third in the Horizon League pre-season poll of league coaches, sports information directors and media. Milwaukee returned three starters and 12 letterwinners, including 2008 Horizon League Player of the Year Traci Edwards. The quickness of the Spartans, shocked the hosts, before the 6-2 pre-season All-American Edwards took the game into her hands and led all scorers with 21 points.

In the Iowa Conference women's basketball preview released on Friday, November 14, the Spartans were selected tied for 6th place in the league (with Wartburg) by the IIAC coaches. Defending IIAC champion Simpson College collected eight of nine first-places votes to capture the top spot in the 2008-09 IIAC Womens Basketball Coaches Poll. The Storm, which reached the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Division III Womens Basketball Championships last season, received the maximum 72 points (coaches cannot vote for their own team). Buena Vista University, which garnered the remaining first-place vote, edged Luther College by a single point, 57-56, for second place. Coe College received 52 points to rank fourth, just ahead of Loras College with 46 points.

UD returns two starters and four letterwinners from last seasons 14-13 team that finished tied for fifth in the Conference with a 7-9 record. The Spartans will be led by a trio of guards during the 2008-09 campaign. Junior Jennifer Nichols, a Second Team All-IIAC selection, led the team with a 16.2 point per game scoring average, good for fourth among league players. She also averaged 5.7 rebounds in 27 games and ranked third in the league in free-throw percentage (83.8 percent) and 13th in 3-point field-goal percentage (34.5 percent). Fellow junior Briana Nelson ranked second on the team in scoring at 11.0 points per game while also averaging4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per outing. She ranked 13th in the league in scoring. Sophomore Tena Stark started 25 games a year ago, averaging 6.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 assists per contest. Spartans head coach Mark Noll says, We will feature more depth this season, as we brought in 15 new players to our program this year. We will be a very young team overall with no seniors on our roster. Our returning players and their leadership is vital to our success this year, as a couple of transfers and several first-year players are expected to contribute. The competition in the IIAC is so tough from top to bottom and that is why it is great to be a part of this Conference!
