Miller, a native from Richfield, Minn., averaged 8.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game her freshman season. The guard picked up 10 double-digit scoring contests and tabbed a seasonhigh 24 points against Butler late in the season. Miller led the Flames in points in five Horizon League contests, while also guiding the squad in rebounds and steals on four occasions. UIC NOTES: The UIC women s basketball team is coming off a record-breaking season after making its first postseason appearance in school history. Not only did the Flames face Minnesota at the WNIT, but they also tied the school record for most wins in a season (19) and shattered the record for consecutive victories with 11. Individually, seniors LaShonda Grant, Krystal Hugelier and Jacquay Holmes all reached the 1,000 career-point milestone throughout the season with Holmes hitting the plateau in UIC s final contest against Minnesota. RETURNING FIRE: The Flames welcome back seven letterwinners, including two starters. Horizon League All-Newcomer Team recipient Jessie Miller returns for UIC after averaging 8.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Returning in the post are Nikki Grobbecker, Ashley Hluska, Cassie Johnson and Nicole Rinaldi. Grobbecker led the team with 20 blocks and started in 22-of-32 contests, while Hluska earned the starting spot at center in the Flames final eight games. In addition to Miller, sophomore Briana Hinkle and junior Meghan Hutchens return at the guard position. VETERAN EXPERIENCE: After losing five talented seniors last season, some may think that the Flames will be inexperienced, but the situation is quite the opposite. Although only two starters return, the squad is a combination of talented upperclassmen and six gifted newcomers. With the new additions, head coach Lisa Ryckbosch believes that the team s hard work will pay off in the end. We have changed the direction of this program, said Ryckbosch. We have established a winning culture here at UIC UIC BASKETBALL SCHEDULE November 2 AUSTRALIAN SHOWTIME (EXH.) 7:00 p.m. 6 ST.

It s these traits that have made Chicago such a destination for people looking to find a new place to call home. And it s these same traits that are the reason why many Chicago natives never want to leave. For UIC Head Women s Basketball Coach Lisa Ryckbosch, who was born in this city, grew up in this city and has over 20 years of basketball coaching experience in this city, Chicago has always been her kind of town. The UIC women s basketball program has been the benefactor of Ryckbosch s hometown tutelage, as the Flames have made huge strides as a program under her direction since she was hired on April 25, In just five short years, Ryckbosch is just 12 wins away from becoming the winningiest coach in school history (78-69/.569). She has produced 78 wins and guided the squad to their highest-ever Horizon League finish (2nd , 2006). Ryckbosch has also steered the Flames to their first-ever Horizon League Tournament title game (2005) and first-ever postseason season appearance at the WNIT last season. She has developed 11 all-league performers during her tenure those players helping UIC set single-season team records in most points scored (2,184, ), three-pointers made (200, ), most steals (344, ) most assists (492, ) and consecutive victories (11, ). The Flames also broke the school record of most wins in a season (19, ), while also receiving their first-ever vote in the Associated Press Top 25 poll (Nov. 2002) during her tenure. Last season, Ryckbosch watched her hard work pay off as seniors LaShonda Grant, Krystal Hugelier and Jacquay Holmes each hit the 1,000 career-point plateau. Ryckbosch has built UIC into a successful program by attracting top student-athletes. Her extensive knowledge of the `Windy City, has allowed her to lay down the recruiting groundwork to keep the top recruits from the talent-rich Chicagoland area close to home.
