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.
