The Mavericks grabbed the lead a final time with 5:13 to go in regulation, but the Wildcats took it back 22 seconds later on a Lizzy Dimba layup... Incredibly, neither team led by more than two possessions until Suzzy Dimba s final free throw with eight seconds remaining made it a sevenpoint game... Omaha s biggest lead of the night was four points... The 20 lead changes are the most in a single ACU game during the five-year tenure of head coach Julie Goodenough... The previous high of 15 lead changes came against Sam Houston State on Jan. 22, 2015 and vs. Jacksonville on Dec. 21, NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE: The Mavericks helped the Wildcats by going 7-19 (.368) from the free-throw line...

20 Head Coach Julie Goodenough Fifth Year at Abilene Christian School Record: (.689) Career Record: (.593) Hometown: Haskell, Texas Family: Husband, Rob, and daughters, Bailey and Macy Degrees: Associate of Arts in Science from West Texas College Bachelor of Arts in exercise and sports studies from Texas-Arlington Masters of Education in sports administration from Texas Tech A veteran head coach with 20 years experience at all three major collegiate levels (NCAA DI, DII, DIII), Julie Goodenough recently completed a successful fourth season leading the Abilene Christian women s basketball program. Her team went 26-4, won the Southland Conference Championship at 17-1, and earned the program s first-ever NCAA DI postseason berth in the WNIT where it lost at UTEP in the first round. In leading the Wildcats to four-consecutive winning seasons since her arrival back in the Big Country, Goodenough was named 2016 Southland Conference Coach of the Year and helped junior guard Alexis Mason win the school s first conference Player of the Year trophy since Goodenough also received Coach of the Year honors from The Rotary Club of Abilene and the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches. Goodenough s gang produced an overall win total that is the fourth largest in program history, trailing only a pair of 31-win seasons in and , and a 27-win team from Additionally, the Wildcats 17 conference victories are a program best and the most by any Southland Conference team vs. its league since 2003 when UT- Arlington won 17 games. For Goodenough a decorated 22-year coaching veteran was her winningest season since leading Hardin-Simmons to a 26-2 record and the NCAA DIII Sweet 16 in Her highest season win total of 27 came during the campaign after leading the Cowgirls to the Elite 8. ACU s postseason appearance was the 10th of Goodenough s career, but first in the WNIT. She led Charleston Southern twice to the WBI and made it to the NCAA DII regionals with the Wildcats in 2013 following their share of the Lone Star Conference Championship with Midwestern State. ACU completed the regular season under Goodenough s watch ranked No. 1 in the Southland Conference in seven categories: scoring (75.6 ppg), rebounding (40.9 rpg), assists (13.8 apg) and blocks (4.4). The Wildcats also posted the top scoring margin of +14.3, played the best 3-point defense (.279) and made the most 3-pointers per game (7.9). Within the national rankings, ACU was consistently ranked among the top-25 schools in scoring, margin of victory, 3-pointers made per game and steals. Mason averaged a league best 17.5 points per game through her 30 starts and shot an impressive 42.8 percent from the floor while knocking down 35.7 percent of her 3-pointers (89-249). Mason s number of 3-point field goals and attempts were both school season records.
