10 HEAD COACH ROBIN PINGETON WOMEN S - 6 TH SEASON AT MIZZOU - 21 ST SEASON AS A HEAD COACH HOMETOWN: ATKINS, IOWA ALMA MATER: ST. AMBROSE, 1990 MIZZOU RECORD: (.534) CAREER RECORD: (.642) Since stepping foot on Mizzou's campus in 2010, head coach Robin Pingeton has led the Mizzou Women's Basketball program to new heights. After three straight winning seasons and postseason appearances, Pingeton's high expectations have not wavered. Now in her sixth year at the helm of the program, the journey is just beginning for Pingeton and her staff. She led the Tigers to the first 13-0 start in program history and the highest national ranking since Dec. 30, 1984 at No. 20 in the AP Top 25 Poll on Jan. 4. In , the Tigers took another step forward as the team finished 19-14, the highest win total for the program since Mizzou earned victories in each of the first two rounds of the WNIT, which is the most postseason victories for the program since The squad featured a stifling defense, which ranked 12th in the country in opponent field goal percentage (35.1) and 17th in the nation with 29.0 defensive rebounds per game. It was also a banner year for the offense as the Tigers drained 49 more 3-pointers than any other school in the SEC and finished 31st nationally with 249 triples throughout the season. On Feb. 26, 2015, Mizzou upset No. 12 Texas A&M, 70-69, and ended a 17-game home winning streak for the Aggies in College Station when Maddie Stock drained a gamewinning 3-pointer with less than a second remaining. The Tigers earned WNIT victories at Northern Iowa and at Kansas State to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in 12 years. In a record-setting performance K-State in the second round, Mizzou earned a win with the 19-point margin of victory serving as the largest in postseason annals for the Tigers. In that contest, the Tigers dominated the glass with a rebounding margin which also established a new postseason program record. Morgan Eye tied a WNIT record with nine 3-pointers to lead the offense on a landmark afternoon. Jordan Frericks earned second-team All-SEC honors and honorable mention All-SEC recognition from the Associated Press after leading the conference with 9.9 rebounds per game, which is the highest average by a Tiger since the campaign. Her 327 total rebounds rank third in Mizzou single-season history and are the most since Renee Kelly s record of 395 set in Frericks tied a program record with 33 starts, equaling Lorraine Ferret s mark that had stood since Eye closed her illustrious career with 367 baskets from beyond the arc, which is 141 more than any other player to ever wear a Tiger uniform. Following the season, she was invited to the State Farm College Women s 3-Point Championship at the Final Four in Indianapolis. Pingeton earned her 400th career victory vs. Loyola Chicago on Dec. 3, She has restored a proud Missouri women s basketball tradition and has recorded a (.500) record over her five seasons with her teams averaging 18 wins per year over the last three seasons. In 20 years overall as a head coach, Pingeton s teams have gone (.637). She has led her squads to postseason play 13 times and has mentored 31 all-conference honorees, seven Academic All-Americans, six All-Americans and four PINGETON BY THE NUMBERS 31 All-Conference players 20 Plus seasons of head coaching experience 13 Postseason tournament appearances 7 Academic All-Americans 6 All-Americans 4 Conference Players of the Year 3 Regular season conference championship titles 2 Conference tournament championships 2 Conference Coach of the Year Awards HEAD COACHING RECORD MIZZOU (.419) (.419) (.531) (.548) (.576) (.833) 6 th Season (.534) ILLINOIS STATE (.552) (.419) (.429) (.667) (.788) (.771) (.778) 7 Seasons (.640) ST.

11 conference Players of the Year. She has won three regular season conference titles, two postseason conference tournaments and has twice been named the conference Coach of the Year. Heading into , Pingeton and her coaching staff recruited and signed the most acclaimed recruiting class in the history of Mizzou Women s Basketball, including two four-time state champions from Rock Bridge High School in Columbia, Mo., located just minutes from the Mizzou campus. Sophie Cunningham became the first McDonald s All-American to join the program and was ranked the No. 14 prep player in the country by Blue Star Report. Her teammate, Cierra Porter, was ranked the No. 37 high school player nationally by All-Star Girls Report. The class also includes Hannah Schuchts, the No. 59 forward in the country by ESPN HoopGurlz. Prospect Nation rated the class the 14th-best in NCAA women s basketball. With one season of SEC play under their belt, Pingeton's Tigers came into the season with a vengeance, recording wins over two ranked foes in No. 25 Georgia and No. 16 Vanderbilt. The Tigers closed the season with a record and advanced to the WNIT for the second year in a row. Mizzou broke its own 3-point shooting records with 292 made 3-pointers. The number stands not only as the most in Missouri history but also established an SEC record. In addition, Pingeton's squad topped Bradley early in the season, , to set the school's single-game and single-half scoring records. Pingeton's recruiting talents were once again on display in as Mizzou's three true freshmen proved to be the most productive incoming class since the season. The trio of newcomers, Frericks, Kayla McDowell and Sierra Michaelis averaged 17.9 points per game on 44.4 percent shooting while pulling down 13.5 rebounds and dishing out 2.6 assists per game. Pingeton's Tigers were successful from top-to-bottom as first-team All-SEC selection Bri Kulas ranked among the conference scoring leaders by averaging 18.3 points per game. Kulas became Mizzou's seventh WNBA draft pick as she was selected by the San Antonio Stars in the third round (28th overall) of the 2014 WNBA Draft. Pingeton's Tigers have also successfully proven themselves as standouts off the court as several Tigers were again given academic honors from the SEC. Lianna Doty was named SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year in Under Pingeton's tutelage, Missouri has seen a consistent increase in academic recognition each season as Lindsey Cunningham, Doty, Eye, Bree Fowler, Frericks, McDowell, Juanita Robinson, Maddie and Morgan Stock were all named to the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll in Missouri has also consistently worked to better the Columbia area by volunteering in the community. The Tigers put in more than 350 hours of community service during the season, 333 hours in and 325 hours in During Mizzou s inaugural season in the SEC, the Tigers showed that they would be a force to be reckoned with under Pingeton's guidance. In addition to setting numerous school and SEC records, the Tigers posted a record, made the postseason for the first time since 2007 and knocked off three top 25 teams on the way to a respectable finish in the conference. Eye lit up the nets on her way to finishing the year as one of, if not the best, 3-point shooters in the NCAA. Eye led the country in 3-point shooting, set the Mizzou single-game record for triples (11) and set the SEC record for treys in a season (112). The season under Pingeton showed that a solid foundation had been laid for Mizzou Women s Basketball. Not only did the Tigers knock off 12th-ranked South Carolina and NCAA Tournament-bound Florida, but the Tigers took down perennial power Tennessee in a victory that many of her peers say was a "program-changer." Through the recruiting efforts of Pingeton and her staff, three Tigers earned SEC recognition for their efforts and contributions on the court. Kulas was named second-team All-SEC, Doty made the SEC All-Freshman Team and Eye was recognized as the SEC Co-6th Woman of the Year. Following the season, four Tigers were named to the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll and five freshmen were named to the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll. Pingeton reinvigorated the Tigers program from the moment she stepped on-campus in Columbia. During her initial season, Missouri posted a record and 5-11 mark in Big 12 Conference play, the best for the team since The Tigers accomplished those feats despite playing the seventh-toughest schedule in the nation, a slate that featured 16 games against teams who qualified for the NCAA Tournament and 10 games against ranked opponents. Mizzou recorded three wins against ranked foes, defeating No. 12 Georgetown, No. 22 Texas and No. 23 Iowa State. The three wins over ranked opponents were the most for the Tigers since the season. Additionally, Mizzou's win over Texas ended a 12- game losing streak to the Longhorns dating back to 2001, and was only the second time the Tigers had ever defeated the Longhorns. Success for the Tigers continued in the season as Mizzou started out with a 10-1 record, the program's best start since the season when Mizzou began the year Under Pingeton's direction, the Tigers went undefeated through the first five games for the first time since With Pingeton's leadership, Christine Flores became the first Tiger to record a triple-double since Flores set several records at Mizzou, including the most blocks in her career (209) and in a single season (93) before being drafted by the Phoenix Mercury in the third round (30th overall) of the WNBA Draft.
