HOT STREAK The Bears went 9-3 in their last 12 games last season after starting out At the end of that stretch, Northern Colorado went 2-1 at the Division I Indepedent tournament in Orem, Utah, and finished as the runner up. TRIFECTARIFIC The Bears pointers per game last season would have tied for fourth-best in the nation, but because of the reclassification, they are not part of official Division I statistical categories until the transition is over.

The Bears are taking on seven teams that participated in the NCAA or WNIT tournament last season. Those teams include Louisville (NCAA), Maryland (NCAA), Illinois (WNIT), Marquette (WNIT), Gonzaga (WNIT), and twice against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (WNIT).

Northern Colorado went 0-6 against MWC teams last season. BEARS WIN EXHIBITION The Bears took down Colorado Mines in an exhibition on Nov. 8. Although Northern Colorado shot just 24 percent in the first half, it rebounded in the second half to shoot 41 percent. The Bears played stellar defense, forcing 28 turnovers. THE COMEBACK KID Junior Heather Barbour scored a team-high 14 points in the win over Mines. Barbour had been hampered by leg injuries the past two years. She hasn t played in regular season action since Jan. 8, 2005 against Utah.

12 University of Northern Colorado Bears Women s Basketball Making The Transition NORTHERN COLORADO TO JOIN BIG SKY CONFERENCE The presidents of the eight Big Sky Conference institutions voted on May 17, 2005, to add the University of Northern Colorado as the league's ninth member. The University of Northern Colorado will officially join the Big Sky Conference on July 1, 2006, and begin athletic competition in August of The Big Sky will be comprised of Northern Colorado, Eastern Washington University, Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana State University, Northern Arizona University, Portland State University, Sacramento State University and Weber State University. "In Northern Colorado, we've found an institution that fits the footprint of the Big Sky Conference,'' said Big Sky Conference Commissioner Doug Fullerton. "Northern Colorado is very similar to the other schools in our conference. It is a school with a great academic and athletic tradition, and fits both geographically and academically. "Northern Colorado is committed to the Big Sky and we've already developed a great partnership Our presidents were very impressed with Northern Colorado from the beginning of this process, and are excited about the future of our league with the addition.'' "We're thrilled to join a conference in our region that is not only firstrate in athletics, but also made up of stellar academic institutions," UNC President Kay Norton said. As part of its agreement for membership in the Big Sky, Northern Colorado will add men's and women's indoor track and field, as well as men's cross country. UNC has also agreed to fund 63 football scholarships by the 2007 season. Northern Colorado will compete in a full regular-season Big Sky schedule in UNC will face certain restrictions competing in Big Sky Championships where an automatic bid to an NCAA tournament is at stake until it is fully eligible to accept an automatic berth. "The competition level in the conference is high, but we feel our program is in a good position to be competitive right away," Northern Colorado Director of Athletics Jay S. Hinrichs said. "Our goal is to compete for conference championships in the near future." In December 2004, the Big Sky institution presidents decided to take a closer look at adding Northern Colorado. A team of Big Sky representatives visited the Greeley campus in early February, and completed a site visitation report that was presented to the presidents. The Big Sky is expanding for the first time since the summer of 1996 when Sacramento State, Portland State and Cal State Northridge were added after Boise State and the University of Idaho left the conference. Northridge joined the Big West following the season. The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members: Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. The Big Sky currently sponsors championships in 13 sports: Football, men's and women's basketball, cross country, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, women's soccer, women's golf and women's volleyball.
