A CLOSER LOOK AT MSUM...THREE-POINT RECORD FALLS
ON THE OFFENSIVEFLOOR GENERAL
LINEUP FIXTURES
DRAGONS GET IT DONE AT THE LINE
NSIC RANKINGS
•MSUM sophomore point guard Natalie Van Wyhe is now tied for second in the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.9, which is also 35th-best in the nation. She has 70 assists compared to 37 turnovers in 19 games played this season. Van Wyhe also ranks fourth in
the conference at 3.4 assists per game. Over the Dragons’ last 10 games, Van Wyhe has averaged 4.7 assists per game. Van Wyhe had a career-high nine assists in the Dragons’ win over Mary in December and has four games of five assists or more already this season.
•The MSUM women’s basketball team set a new single-game school record with 15 three-pointers made during the Dragons’ 94-74 rout of Bemidji State on Jan. 24. MSUM hit 15-of-30 shots from three-point range to break the previous record
of 14 set three times previously. MSUM hit 8-of-14 three-pointers in the first half of the Bemidji game. Eight differ-ent players hit at least one three-pointer in the game for MSUM, led by sophomore guard Morgan Banasik, who hit a career-high four 3-pointers. Junior guard Meghan Roehrich added three 3-pointers while junior forward Heather Strese, left, and freshman guard Mallie Doucette had two each. The three-point barrage was part of a season-high 94 points scored by the Dragons in the win. The 15 threes are tied for the 13th-highest single-game total in all of NCAA Division II this season.
• MSUM had another big weekend at the free throw line last week-end and it helped the Dragons climb the national rankings. The Dragons hit a combined 39-of-41 free throws in the games against Concordia-St. Paul (26-of-27) and Minnesota State (13-of-14), a total
that gave MSUM a 95.1 percentage at the line. Three Drag-ons who attempted at last eight free throws were perfect at the line: junior Meghan Roehrich (11-of-11), sophomore Natalie Van Wyhe (10-of-10) and sophomore Morgan Banasik (8-of-8). The strong effort at the line moved MSUM to 12th in the nation in free-throw percentage (77.1), which now also leads the NSIC. Van Wyhe is tied for 10th in the nation at 90.5 percent at the free-throw line.

COACHING BIOThe 2014-15 season will be Karla Nelson’s 15th as head coach of the Minnesota State University Moorhead women’s basketball team. During her 14 years as head coach, MSUM has been a model of consistent success.
Nelson has 14 straight winning seasons as MSUM’s mentor. The Dragons have qualified for the conference tournament for 15 consecutive years -- having never missed a conference tournament -- including in all 14 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 240-159 in 14 seasons.
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.
Nelson has also coached 32 all-conference honorees in 14 seasons. She led Angie Jetvig to four All-American teams including two consecutive Daktronics All-American honors in 2011 and 2012. Nelson also helped Megan Rettke and Alison Nash-Gerlach to second team Daktronics All-American honors in 2010.
In 2013-14, MSUM finished 16-11, highlighted by wins over regional qualifiers Wayne State (ranked No. 8 at the time) and Concordia-St. Paul. 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 all-time in scoring at 1,228 points while Zabel finished in 15th at 1,115 points. Senior guard Haley Thomforde also finished her career fifth in assists under Nelson’s tutelage.
The 2012-13 season saw a young Dragon team with just two seniors earn a 16-12 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 2012-13, senior Marisa Yernatich set the new career three-point record at MSUM, while junior Megan Strese earned first-team All-NSIC honors. 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 2004-05, returned in 2006-07, and qualified for a third time in 2008-09.
The 2006-07 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 2008-09, 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 15-12 overall record in 2000-01, the first winning season at MSUM in six years that also included a NSIC playoff invitation. In 2004-05 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 2002-03 season.
Nelson served six seasons as the Dragons’ No. 1 assistant from 1994-2000. When Jean Roise resigned in March of 2000, MSUM Director of Athletics Dr. Katy Wilson quickly promoted Nelson to the top post..
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.
COACHING RESUME• Karla Nelson was promoted to head coach in March of 2000, becoming the 12th Women’s Basketball Coach in the 46-year history of the program. • 2014-15 is her 21st year in coaching at MSUM and the 15th as a head coach.• The fastest coach in MSUM basketball history to reach 200 wins.• Nelson served as a coach at East Grand Forks and Grand Forks Public Schools for three years prior to arriving at MSUM.• Played four seasons of basketball at the University of North Dakota, twice being honored as UND’s Best Defensive Player.
