She has averaged 2.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game while recording 63 assists and 23 steals.

Andrea Scott 17TH SEASON Career Record: NSIC North Champions The season will be Karla Nelson s 17th as head coach of the Minnesota State University Moorhead women s basketball team. During her 16 years as head coach, MSUM has been a model of consistent success. Nelson has 16 straight winning seasons as MSUM s mentor. The Dragons have qualified for the conference tournament for 17 consecutive years -- having never missed a conference tournament -- including in all 16 years of Nelson s tenure. The fastest coach in MSU Moorhead basketball history to reach the 200-win plateau, Nelson has accumulated a record of in 16 seasons. Nelson has also coached 37 all-conference honorees in 16 seasons. She led Angie Jetvig to four All-American teams including two consecutive Daktronics All-American honors in 2011 and Nelson also helped Megan Rettke and Alison Nash-Gerlach to second team Daktronics All-American honors in Also included in the success are three trips to the NCAA Division II post-season play, two national statistical titles, conference and region Coach of the Year endorsements and a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference championship. Nelson is fourth among NSIC coaches in total wins at their respective schools. The campaign marked another strong season for MSUM. The Dragons finished 21-6 and earned the NSIC North Division title for the first time since the league split into two divisions. In the classroom MSUM earned WBCA Academic Top 25 honors, posting the 20th-best GPA in Division II. In , MSUM finished 16-11, highlighted by wins over regional qualifiers Wayne State (ranked No. 8 at the time) and Concordia-St. Paul. The Dragons also went a perfect 2-0 at Concordia-St. Paul s Radisson Hotel Roseville Classic in November. MSUM senior forward Morgan Zabel was named the tournament MVP. Zabel was named to the All-NSIC first team while senior forward Megan Strese was named to the All-NSIC second team. Both players surpassed 1,000 points for their careers during the season; Strese left MSUM ranked 11th alltime in scoring at 1,228 points while Zabel finished in 15th at 1,115 points. The season saw a young Dragon team with just two seniors earn a mark and a first-round win in the NSIC tournament. MSUM also earned a win over No. 17-ranked Augustana, which ended up qualifying for the NCAA Division II Final Four. Also in , senior Marisa Yernatich set the new career three-point record at MSUM, while junior Megan Strese earned first-team All-NSIC honors. Junior Morgan Zabel was an All-NSIC second-team selection. The first coach at MSUM to debut with back-to-back winning campaigns, Nelson and the Dragons made their first appearance in the NCAA Division II North Central Regional in , returned in , and qualified for a third time in The Dragons of led the nation in rebounding for a second time in five years after a fifthplace finish in The team reached the 20-win plateau for the fifth time in program history and made a serious run for the NSIC title, placing second in the league tournament and suffered an NCAA Tournament opening round loss to the University of North Dakota. In , the Dragons were ranked as high as 13th in the nation, after going on an 11-0 run to open the season. The season ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, after picking up the first post-season win in program history. Nelson prodded her first club to a overall record in , the first winning season at MSUM in six years that also included a NSIC playoff invitation. In Nelson and the Dragons claimed their first NSIC outright title, cracked the nation s Top-25 for the first time and received a NCAA Division II regional tournament invitation, the first time in the Head Coach s career. MSUM finished 24-7 overall and set a Dragon single season record victories. Nelson was saluted as the NSIC Coach of the Year and Women s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Region 7 Coach of the Year as well. The WBCA Region 7 Coach of the Year honor was her second, the first coming during the season. Nelson served six seasons as the Dragons No. 1 assistant from When Jean Roise resigned in March of 2000, MSU Moorhead Director of Athletics Dr. Katy Wilson quickly promoted Nelson to the top post. In addition to her basketball duties at MSUM, Nelson served as head softball coach at MSU Moorhead for five seasons. She inherited a program in serious decline in 1996 and led the Dragons to a surprising finish that included a 9-5 NSIC record. Surely some of Nelson s coaching acumen can be traced to her alma mater, University of North Dakota. A four-year basketball letterwinner, Nelson was a three-year captain and was a three-year fixture in the Sioux backcourt.

Nelson enjoyed a rewarding prep career at Erskine High School, excelling in basketball and volleyball. A four-time All-Northern Plains Conference basketball pick, Nelson scored 1,052 points, the first Erskine athlete to reach the magical 1,000-point plateau. Nelson was decorated as Athlete of the Year at Erskine High as a senior. A recreation major, Nelson completed an undergraduate degree from North Dakota and a Master s Degree from North Dakota State University in Health Education. Nelson was a member of the coaching staff at East Grand Forks and Grand Forks Public Schools for three years before moving to MSUM.
