Last Time Out
UMKC women's basketball wiped out an 11-point deficit to take down Grand Canyon 63-57 in WAC play on Sunday afternoon at GCU Arena in Phoenix, Ariz., outscoring the Lopes 23-13 in the fourth quarter. Aries Washington led the UMKC attack with 18 points, shooting 8-of-10 from the field, eight rebounds and three assists, while Kristen Moore added seven rebounds and matched her career-high with 14 points of the bench as the Kangaroo reserves outscored GCU's bench 26-0.
The Coaches
Nationally known for her top-notch recruiting classes, Marsha Frese enters her fourth season as head women's basketball coach at UMKC. During her first three seasons in Kansas City, Frese began to establish her vision for a championship culture while guiding the 'Roos toward excellence, both on the court and in the classroom. Under Frese's guidance, the 'Roos have established a standard of excellence for classroom performance as UMKC earned top honors in back-to-back years with the highest team GPA in all of Division-I women's college basketball for both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.
The 2015-16 season will be Angela Jackson's 13th season as Chicago State's women's basketball head coach. She is the program's all-time leader in wins with 123. She guided the Cougars to the program's best ever season in 2010-11 when her squad won the Great West Conference regular season and tournament championships.
