THOMAS Tommies 9-2 Overall, 3-1 MIAC DATE: January 6, 2016 TIME: 7 p.m. SITE: St. Paul, Minn VENUE: McCarthy Gym WATCH LIVE: tommiesports.com/broadcast/w7vf6i LIVE STATS: tommiesports.com/sports/wbkb/2015-16/boxscores/20160106_gms0.xml SETTING THE SCENE The Gustavus Adolphus College women s basketball team will take on No. 12 University of St. Thomas on Wednesday, Jan. 6 at McCarthy Gym in St. Paul, Minn, with tip off set for 7 p.m. Live stats as well as a live stream of the game will be available. The Gusties enter the game with an 8-3 overall record and 3-1 mark in the conference, while the Tommies head into the contest with a 9-2 overall record and identical 3-1 MIAC mark. LAST TIME OUT The Gusties started out strong winning their first game in the Puerto Rico Clasico against Ramapo College with a 47-29 victory. The 29 total points allowed by the Black and Gold is the lowest point total by an opponent since the Gusties defeated Macalester College 51-23 on Feb. 15, 2006. The next day, Gustavus suffered a hard fought 62-51 loss to Coast Guard Academy. The first quarter was a close affair as the Bears only held a four point, 20-16 lead after 10 minutes. However, the second quarter proved to be the difference maker in the game, as Coast Guard Academy outscored Gustavus 18-7 to take a 38-23 lead. Gustavus played a better second half, but it was too little, too late and the Gusties eventually took the 11-point loss, only their third defeat of the season. The University of St. Thomas most recently defeated UW-Oshkosh 67-58 on Dec 30 in Waverly, Iowa. The Tommies halted a two game losing streak, thanks in large part to their 23-of-27 mark at the foul line. After three quarters, the Tommies held a slim 43-42 lead, and despite making an identical six fieldgoals to UW-Oshkosh, converted 11-of-14 free-throws to seal the nine point victory.

Kelly, a 1993 graduate of the University of St. Thomas with a degree in speech communications, came to Gustavus from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, where she directed the Division I Lumberjacks for nine seasons. A Rochester, Minnesota, native, Kelly made a quick ascent through the Division II and I coaching ranks after a record setting Division III playing career at the University of St. Thomas in the early 90s. In nine years at Northern Arizona, she compiled the most wins in the program s history (117), while also directing the team to its first-ever Big Sky Conference tournament title and NCAA tournament bid in the 2005-06 season. During Kelly s tenure, the Lumberjacks advanced to the Big Sky tournament six times with two appearances in the championship game (2006, 2007), and her teams registered two of the three 20-win seasons in the program s history. In addition to quality on the floor, her squads have also been strong in the classroom, with four players earning CoSIDA Academic All-District honors including one Academic All-American. Following the 2012-13 season, the Gustavus women s basketball team achieved a significant milestone when the Women s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced its Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll following the year. Making their 15th appearance on the NCAA Division III honor roll, the Gusties were recognized as the team with the top cumulative grade point average in the country at a 3.60 a first in the program s history. In addition, the Lumberjacks were recognized in the Women s Basketball Coaches Association Top 25 Academic Honor Roll six times, with two Top Ten national rankings. Prior to her position at Northern Arizona, Kelly coached at Binghamton University in New York and built the Bearcats into one of the top Division II programs in the country before helping the institution transition to a Division I program in 2001-02. In their first year of Division I competition, Kelly directed the Bearcats to a 19-9 record and a second-place finish in the America East Conference. During her five years at Binghamton, Kelly compiled a record of 94-22, including a mark of 75-13 in the program s final three years at the Division II level, and her squads won New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) titles in 1999 and 2000 and Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) titles in 2000 and 2001. She was named ECAC Coach of the Year in 2000 and New York State Coach of the Year in 2002. Kelly began her collegiate coaching career as the graduate assistant coach at Minnesota State University, Mankato from 1996 to 1998. While she was at Minnesota State, Mankato she earned a master s degree in physical education with an emphasis in sports administration. Before her success in the coaching ranks, Laurie Trow Kelly was a standout player at the University of St. Thomas from 1989 to 1993 and is recognized by many as one of the greatest players in NCAA Division III history. A gifted athlete, the 6-1 Kelly scored 2,607 points and pulled down 1,204 rebounds in four years, earning Kodak All-America honors three consecutive seasons. In her senior season (1992-93), Kelly was voted National Player of the Year by the Women s Basketball Coaches Association after averaging more than 26 points per game. She set 22 conference and 24 school records, was conference MVP three times, and was also named Midwest Sports Channel NCAA Division III Women s Athlete of the Year. In January 2006, Kelly was one of five players selected to the NCAA Division III 25th Anniversary Team. Kelly is the ninth head coach in the history of the Gustavus women s basketball program. The Gusties have compiled an alltime record of 655-445 (.595), winning two Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships and making five NCAA tournament appearances.
