The Coyotes are ready to strike again. After fi nishing the 2009-10 season in second place in the KCAC at 15-3 and a 22-8 overall record, Wesleyan is poised to make another run for the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship and a third straight berth in the NAIA National Championships.

The Coyotes are coming off of back-to-back 20-win seasons for the fi rst time in school history and are also coming off their second straight berth in the NAIA National Championships, losing in the fi rst round last year to defending National Champion Morningside.

“Even though we had a young team, we were still able to achieve a high level of success. Second place in the conference, and making the National Tournament last year gave us momentum for this coming year. We are looking to build on that past success.” KWU coach Gordon Reimer said.

Wesleyan has loaded its roster with top talent from around the Midwest and West Coast. Ten freshmen and four transfers join the Wesleyan roster this season. With a strong mix of transfers and incoming freshmen ready to help the Coyotes make the push for the KCAC title. All fi ve starters return from last year’s team as do a majority of the role players off the bench from last year.

Headlining the returners are two-time Honorable Mention NAIA All-American selection LaCole Wilkinson (5-3, Sr., G, Hemple, Mo. / East Buchanan HS) and KCAC Freshman of the Year Stephanie Frost (5-10, So., F, Assaria, Kan. / Southeast of Saline HS). Also returning for the Coyotes are Montric Santee (5-6, Jr., G, Little Elm, Texas / Northeastern State (Okla.)), Jamie Alexander (5-8, Sr., G, Hill City, Kan. / Colby CC (Kan.)), and Shelby Babcock (5-5, Jr., G, Ventura, Calif. / St. Bonaventure HS).

“Stephanie has increased her strength and improved her post moves,” Reimer said. “LaCole has regained her focus and I think she will be a dominant player in our conference as well as on the National level. Shelby and Montric are all looking as good as or better than last year, and Jamie, another starter from last year, has really improved and looks to close her career out on a high note.”

Also returning for the Coyotes will be last year’s sixth man, Damara Lewis (5-10, Sr., F, Lyons, Kan. / Butler CC (Kan.)) and Jessica Potthoff (5-7, So., G, Highlands Ranch, Colo. / ThunderRidge HS), who missed all of last season with a knee injury.

“Damara was a great player off the bench for us last year, and Jessica is back and at 100-percent and is ready to play,” Reimer said. All-in-all the group of returners accounts for 93.5 percent of the team’s off ensive output from a year ago.



GUARDS Leading the guard rotation will be Wilkinson and Babcock in the starting lineup, with Santee and Alexander fi tting into the rotation as well. Also look for newcomers Katie Novack (5-8, Sr., G, Holcomb, Kan. /Southern Nazarene (Okla.)) and Alicia Nicholson (5-5, Fr., G, Wichita, Kan. / Maize HS) to fi gure into the mix at guard.

Wilkinson returns averaging 11 points per game over her career, including a 12.3 average last year in addition to being named First Team All-KCAC and Honorable Mention All-American for a second straight year. Babcock led the Coyotes in scoring last season at 13 points per game. Santee and Alexander combined to average over 19 points per game this season and will be looked on to contribute this season as well.

Novack, a senior, comes to KWU after spending last season at Southern Nazarene. Before Southern Nazarene, Novack spent two seasons at Garden City CC, where she led the Jayhawk West in scoring at 15 points per game. Nicholson enters as a freshman, playing at Maize HS, helping Maize to an appearance in the State Championships last season.

FORWARDSForward play will be highlighted by the return of Frost after earning KCAC Freshman of the Year, First Team All-KCAC, All-KCAC All-Defense Team and All-KCAC All-Freshman team honors last year. She averaged 12.6 points per game and a team best 7.7 rebounds per game last year.

Also looking to fi gure into the mix will be newcomer Danielle Ekno (6-0, Jr., F, Chino Hills, Calif. / Fullerton College (Calif.)). Ekno comes to KWU after spending two years at Fullerton College, where she twice earned First Team All-Orange Empire Conference honors, averaging 8.2 points and 4.5 rebounds as a sophomore helping the Hornets to a No.2 ranking in the California State rankings and a 32-2 record and an appearance in the California State Junior College Championship game.

“Danielle was a starter for Fullerton and played for the California State Championship,” Reimer said. “She knows how to win and will provide some needed size for us.”

The Coyotes are also looking to Lewis to provide an impact this season as a forward, as well as incoming freshman Christian Cassity (5-11, Fr., F, Springtown, Texas / Springtown HS).

THE SCHEDULEKWU’s 2010-11 schedule is one of the more diffi cult in recent memory. The Coyotes open the year in Fayette, Mo., taking on Central Methodist and Culver-Stockton in Central Methodist’s Classic. The Coyotes then open the home portion of the schedule against national powerhouse Hastings College. Wesleyan then heads to Seward, Neb., to play in the Concordia University Classic against Doane and Concordia, before a November 16

contest at Baker. The Coyotes then take on Peru State on the road before opening KCAC play on December 2 at McPherson.

The KCAC schedule is no simple task either. There are no easy games in this league. With new coaches, and improved recruiting, the looks to be plenty of heart stopping action on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Despite all the obstacles, Reimer feels very good about the upcoming season.

“I feel this is the most talented team I have had since coming to Kansas Wesleyan,” he said. “If we can keep everyone healthy and have a little luck we should improve on last season.”

The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, commonly called “The Kansas Conference,” is a prominent intercollegiate athletics conference comprised of ten outstanding independent or private institutions of higher education in the state.

The origins of the KCAC are traced to February 15, 1890, when the Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Association became the result of the fi rst successful attempt at organization among Kansas colleges, “to promote and regulate amateur intercollegiate athletics.” At that time the association or conference included not only private universities and colleges but also Kansas Agriculture College (now KSU), Kansas University, and Washburn University. Football seems to have been the major sponsored sport, and Baker University won the championship for the fi rst three or four years.

In about 1902 this early association became allied with the Kansas College Athletic Conference, a group which was the fi rst to adopt a defi nite set of rules and regulations. It also promoted an annual track and fi eld meet which has continued yearly since, except for World War years. Basketball has been sponsored since 1904. Football was revived in 1907. Tennis began as early as 1912. Golf was added in 1923. By this time the name of the conference had been altered to the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference; it had grown to 17 college members and two allied members: Baker, Bethany, Bethel, College of Emporia, Fairmount (now WSU), Friends, Kansas Wesleyan, KSTC of Emporia (now ESU), KSTC of Hays (now FHSU), KSTC of Pittsburg (now PSU), McPherson, Ottawa, St.Benedict’s (now Benedictine), St.Mary’s, Sterling (formerly Cooper), Southwestern, and Washburn, and with St.John’s and Kansas City University (Kansas) as allied members. Kansas University and Kansas Aggies had dropped out earlier to join other conferences. In 1923 the College of Emporia, KSTC of Emporia, KSTC of Hays, KSTC of Pittsburg, Wichita (formerly Fairmount), Southwestern, and Washburn withdrew to form the Central Conference.

The present legal entity comes from a reorganization of the conference when the predecessor Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference formally disbanded on December 1, 1928, and a new conference was formed which again was called the Kansas College Athletic Conference. The members were Baker, Bethany, Kansas Wesleyan, McPherson, Ottawa, and St.Mary’s colleges. At that time sportswriters quickly gave the KCAC league a nickname: the “Little Six,” in contrast to the Big Six (which became Big Eight, now Big 12) which also was organized in 1928. St.Mary’s College was discontinued in 1931. The College of Emporia returned to the fold in 1933, and Bethel was readmitted in 1939. Friends, a former member of the KIAC, was admitted in 1953. Sterling and Southwestern were approved for membership in 1958. In 1968 Tabor College and St. Mary of the Plains College were admitted to make twelve members in the conference, and the conference was organized into Southern and Northern divisions until 1970 — when Baker, College of Emporia, and Ottawa withdrew to join two separate Missouri-based conferences. In the mid-1970s the formal name was changed again to Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. In 1975 women’s intercollegiate athletics were incorporated into programs of the KCAC. Ottawa was readmitted in 1981, bringing the conference membership to 10. In 1992 St.Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City left the conference and eventually closed. In 1999, Saint Mary College (now University of Saint Mary) joined to return the KCAC membership to ten institutions.

The “Kansas Conference” (KCAC) continues to be an all-Kansas conference. The KCAC is an affi liated conference of the National Association of intercollegiate Athletics with headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.. Today the KCAC sponsors conference intercollegiate athletics in football, volleyball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s indoor track and fi eld, women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s outdoor track and fi eld, women’s outdoor track and fi eld, baseball, softball, golf, women’s tennis, men’s tennis.

The KCAC is a widely respected conference which governs intercollegiate athletics in cooperation with the NAIA.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS (NAIA)The purpose of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is to promote the education and development of students through intercollegiate athletic participation. Member institutions, although varied and diverse, share a common commitment to high standards and to the principle that participation in athletics serves as an integral part of the total educational process.

The NAIA embraces the concept of the student and recognizes the importance of the individuality of each member institution, the value of the conferences and Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) structure, and the benefi ts of membership in a national association.

The NAIA supports gender equity. Gender equity is an atmosphere and reality where fair distribution of overall athletic opportunity and resources, proportionate to enrollment, are available to women and men, and where no student-athlete, coach or athletics administrator is discriminated against in any way in the athletics program. That is to say, an athletics program is gender-equitable when the men’s sports program would be pleased to accept as its own the overall participation opportunities and resources currently allocated to the women’s sports program and vice versa.

The NAIA has 50,000 student-athletes participating at nearly 300 member colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Divided into 25 conferences and the Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.), the NAIA off ers 23 championships in 13 sports.

Since 1937, the NAIA has continued a long tradition of pushing the envelope and making a positive diff erence in the lives of students, coaches and parents. The Champions of Character program is the latest cutting-edge addition to the NAIA’s proud history of innovation.

Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, offi cial and spectator are committed to the true spirit of competition through the fi ve core values: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship.

In his past fi ve years he has won 86 games, more than

triple the 27 wins in the previous six years. "I feel fortunate to have worked with so many great players and assistant coaches in helping me turn this program around."

"Every year my goal at Kansas Wesleyan University is to win the regular season title, the conference tournament,

and play in the National Tournament." Reimer's goals came to realization in the 2008-09 season, as his Coyotes fi nished the season with a school record 27 wins while fi nishing 27-6 overall. Wesleyan tied Sterling for the KCAC Regular Season Championship at 16-2, and then defeated the Warriors in the tournament championship 70-61 on their home fl oor to advance to the NAIA Division II National Championships for the fi rst time in school history.

His teams also hold 19 school records including most points in a season, three point fi eld goals made, total rebounds and most wins in a season at 27. Before coming to Kansas Wesleyan, Gordon spent four years as an assistant college basketball coach. Three years for Central Christian College and one year at McPherson College. Reimer is no stranger to building basketball programs. Under his leadership he developed one of the state's strongest youth programs in McPherson, Kansas. His teams won many tournaments and one National title. Many

of the players he coached helped McPherson High School win fi ve state tournaments in the past ten years. He is a lifelong Kansas native and received both a Bachelor's and Master's Degree from Baker University.

SEASON RECAPThe 2009-10 season was one that exceeded expectations for the Kansas Wesleyan University Women’s Basketball team. After coming off a school record 27-win season in 2008-09, and the losses of All-Everything players Emily Luckeroth and Kaylaen Dittmer, last year’s team was unsure of the direction they would take.

Things were further complicated by the loss of returning player Jessica Potthoff to a knee injury in the preseason.

After dropping two of its fi rst three games of the year, Wesleyan got untracked, winning the next nine games, during which sneaking into the NAIA Top 25 for the fi rst time in the December 14 poll at No.21.

KWU split its two games in its own KWU Holiday Classic over New Year’s weekend, dropping a 50-52 decision to now-defunct Dana (Neb.), marking the fi rst time in program history that the Coyotes lost inside the new Mabee Arena.

The Coyotes rallied for a 16-point win over Tabor in the fi rst game after that loss, but lost its next

contest to eventual KCAC Champion Sterling in a game that KWU trailed by as many as 29 points halfway through the second half, but rallied to only fall by 11.

Wesleyan won four in a row after the loss including a 90-51 domination of rival Bethany on January 14, before a pair of hard fought overtime wins at home against Bethel and at Southwestern. The Coyotes then beat McPherson before being upset by Saint Mary on January 28 in Leavenworth.

Wesleyan fi nished the regular season winning six of the last seven games, the only loss coming at home against Sterling on February 11.

After closing the regular season with a 59-43 win over Southwestern, the Coyotes earned the No.2 seed in the KCAC Post-Season Tournament.

THE POSTSEASON RUNKWU hosted Ottawa University in the KCAC Tournament Quarterfi nals, a team that the Coyotes already beaten twice during the season by an average of 26 points per game, and squeaked out a 66-58 win over the Braves.

Wesleyan then hosted the same Southwestern team that they had seen just a week prior in the regular season fi nale in the KCAC Semifi nals. The Coyotes found themselves on the bad side of a 25-point defi cit at the start of the second half, but fought their way back into the game, just like at sterling on January 9, falling by only seven points in front of a nation-

wide audience as the CollegeFanz Sports Network (now Victory Sports Network) broadcast the game online from Mabee Arena.

Wesleyan then awaited the outcome of the KCAC Tournament Championship game between Sterling and Southwestern to see if they would earn their second straight berth to the NAIA Division II Women’s Basketball National Championships.

It took overtime for the Warriors to come away with an 89-85 win over the ‘Builders, giving KWU the second automatic berth into the National Championships from the KCAC.

KWU earned a No.5 seed in its section of the National Tournament bracket and faced No.4 seeded and defending National Champion Morningside (Iowa) basically on its home fl oor at the Tyson Events Center Gateway Arena in Sioux City, Iowa.

Wesleyan hung with the Mustangs throughout the fi rst half, only trailing by 16 at the break, but a huge second half by Morningside allowed them to come away with the 83-45 win.

AGAINST THE KCACKWU opened the KCAC portion of the schedule with a 5-0 record before the loss to Sterling on January 9. Wins in the next four games put KWU’s record at 8-1 at the end of the fi rst round of Round Robin conference play.

KWU opened the second half with the loss at Saint Mary, but ran off victories in the next three before again losing to Sterling on February 11. A three game winning streak closed out the regular season as the Coyotes fi nished KCAC play in second place with a 15-3 record.

MILESTONES AND HONORSWesleyan’s 68-47 win at Tabor moved Coach Gordon Reimer’s overall coaching record over .500 for the fi rst time, and he fi nished the season with a 91-89 record through six seasons. Reimer sits just three wins behind KWU Hall of Famer Tracy Rietzke for the most wins in program history.

Senior-to-be LaCole Wilkinson scored her 1000th career point at KWU in Wesleyan’s playoff win at Ottawa. She has 1014 career points heading into the 2010-11 season.

Wilkinson and freshman phenom Stephanie Frost were named First Team All-KCAC, while Montric Santee and Shelby Babcock earned Honorable Mention All-KCAC honors.

Frost also earned KCAC Freshman of the Year honors, in addition to being named to the All-KCAC All-Freshman and All-KCAC All-Defensive Teams.

Wilkinson continued on to earn Honorable Mention NAIA All-American honors for a second straight season.

In July, the Women’s Basketball team was named as a 2009-2010 NAIA Scholar Team award winner.

Over the years, Martin Stadium has been the site of many classic Kansas Wesleyan football games, and it hosted the 2000 American Family Insurance Charity Bowl between the Coyotes and arch-rival Bethany College. The fi eld at Martin Stadium is named Bissell Field in honor of Gene Bissell. “Mr. Wesleyan” coached Coyote football for 26 years and served the athletic department in various capacities, including athletic director until his retirement in the early 1980s. Bissell is KWU’s all-time wins leader in football with 116 career victories.

The BRADLEY TENNIS COURTS are located just to the north of the Martin Stadium Fieldhouse on the corner of Osborne and Clafl in Avenues. They are the home to KWU Tennis. The courts were recently resurfaced and the whole area underwent an updating process.

THE NEW HOME OF KWU ATHLETICS ON THE WEB -- WWW.KWUCOYOTES.COM

THIS IS COYOTE ATHLETICSKansas Wesleyan University prides itself on being the best of the best. Over the last fi ve years, the Coyotes have won 28 KCAC and NAIA Regional Championships, a mark unprecedented over that time span. In addition, KWU has had the best overall and in-conference records in the conference for three of the last four years in the eight major team sports sponsored by the KCAC (football, volleyball, women’s soccer, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball and softball).

Over the last fi ve years KWU boasts the best in-conference record in the eight major sports, tallying a 389-211-3 record in conference play, winning 65 percent of the time. The best season came in 2006-07 when KWU won 90 of the 119 conference contests it played. No other school has won more than 85 conference games in a single season over that same time period.

It doesn’t stop there. The University has made strides in the last few years to upgrade its athletic facilities to some of the best at the small college level in the state of Kansas and in the entire region. In 2008, KWU opened the Student Activities Center that features Mabee Arena. Mabee is like no other facility in the area at this level, seating approximately 1500 and featuring some high tech, high quality features you will not fi nd anywhere else. Complimenting the Arena is the Hauptli Student Center and the Everett Morgan Strength Training Center, along with the Brown Mezzanine, new Athletic Training facilities and coaches offi ces. KWU also recently announced plans to renovate the Martin Stadium area to revitalize that area of campus.

In the last four years, Wesleyan has had 359 All-KCAC selections, including 177 as First Team nods. 50 players have received individual conference honors and 17 times a KWU coach has been selected as a KCAC Coach of the Year in their respective sport. Wesleyan boasted 36 All-NAIA Region IV players over the last three years of regional play, and four times coaches were named Regional Coach of the Year. KWU has had 39 NAIA All-Americans in the last four seasons, including 12 in 2008-09. Two Wesleyan coaches have received honors at the national level, including Colby Hensley (AFCA-NAIA Assistant Coach of the Year, 2006) and Mike Dibbini (2007 NSCAA Great Plains Region Women’s Soccer Coach of the Year).

In addition to our athletic program, our students can choose from a full range of student activities that appeal to a wide variety of interests. Just a few examples of student activities include vocal and instrumental music groups, theatre, studio arts, debate and forensics, yearbook, newspaper, student government, ministry and fellowship groups, intramurals, and numerous other special interest organizations. These activities allow student-athletes become actively involved on campus outside of athletics.
