One of the unique nicknames in all of intercollegiate athletics belongs to The University of Akron.

Originally Zippers, athletic director Kenneth “Red” Cochrane officially shortened the nickname to the Zips in 1950. Twenty-five years earlier a campus-wide contest had been conducted to choose a nickname for The University’s athletics teams.

Suggestions submitted by students, faculty, and alumni included Golden Blue Devils, Tip Toppers, Rubbernecks, Hillbillies, Kangaroos and Cheveliers.

The winner, freshman Margaret Hamlin, received a prize of $10 for Zippers, a $6 pair of rubber overshoes and a brand name of the BF Goodrich Company.

The evolution of Zippy, UA’s mascot, began 40 years ago when the student council decided the University needed a mascot.

“Zippy” the kangaroo was officially declared the school’s mascot on May 1, 1953.

James a. rhodes arena James A. Rhodes Arena provides the Zips with a home-court advantage that rivals any facility in the Mid-American Conference. Also known as Rhodes Arena and the JAR, the facility is home to the men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as the women’s volleyball squad.

The Cincinnati Floor Company installed the new floor, which was manufactured by Robbins Sports Surfaces. The company is no stranger to the basketball world, having installed the floor at Indiana University’s Assembly Hall and Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena, home of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers.

The men’s basketball team has posted a .858 winning percentage (91-15) since the 2004-05 season under eighth-year head coach Keith Dambrot and has not posted a losing home record since the 1995-96 season. The women’s squad has posted a .619 winning percentage (2616) over the last three seasons under sixth-year head coach Jodi Kest, the best three-year home stretch in program history.

The new surface also features the school’s new logo and word marks, which were unveiled in July 2002.

During the summer of 2011, the JAR saw the addition of team lounges for the men’s and women’s basketball programs, as well as a 1,850-foot weight room. The team lounges feature state-of the-art technology, including multi-screen audio/visual equipment for practice and game video analysis, and opponent scouting. The video systems, designed specifically to meet the needs of the Akron basketball programs, will be synchronized with equipment located in the existing coaching staffs’ offices to maximize efficiency in video study and game preparation. The weight room will service both basketball programs, as well as the volleyball and women’s tennis squads.

Prior to the 2002-03 season, Rhodes Arena received a $1.1 million renovation. The project included the addition of a new playing surface and several fan-based capital improvements.

The first phase of the facelift took place during the summer of 2002 when a new hardwood floor was installed. The cost of the project, which was funded by private donations, was $202,500 and was completed in late August. The new floor replaced a surface that was installed when the facility was built in 1983.

Phase two of the project was one which Zips fans have benefited from most, providing a new state-of-the-art video display and scoreboard system – installed in October 2002.

The centerpiece of the project, called ZIPSvision, features four Opto Tech 7.5’ x 10’ LED displays which showcase replays of the action on the floor plus other programming before, during and after the game. Opto Tech is one of the industry leaders in large scale video displays, whose sports clients include Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks, Ohio State University, University of Nebraska, and the Georgia Dome, home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.

Partial funding for ZIPSvision comes from The University of Akron’s 10-year partnership with Pepsi. In exchange for signage, media and pouring rights at UA athletics venues, Pepsi contributed $380,000 to the Rhodes Arena Renovation Project. The balance of the project was generated through the sale of signage, both on ZIPSvision and on courtside media tables.

6 • www.GoZips.com

In fall 2008, new courtside tables with LED display capabilities, were purchased for the venue.

The facility became the new home of The University of Akron’s athletics teams on Dec. 3, 1983. Opened prior to the 1983-84 season, the facility gave the Zips basketball and volleyball teams a modern indoor athletics complex.

Rhodes Arena, which seats 5,500 for basketball, was the first phase of a three-part $20.5 million project, which included the $6.5 million Oliver J. Ocasek Natatorium, a $2.5 million renovation of Memorial Hall (demolished in 2010) and completion of the 6,000-square-foot Clifford Skeen Varsity Weight Room, which was located inside Memorial Hall.

The arena is comprised of two floors. In addition to the court, the first level features locker rooms, a sports medicine and training facility, a ticket office, a fan team shop and meeting rooms.

The ground level is also home to the school’s hall of fame, which features photos and information on each inductee. The second floor offers a jogging track and four special multi-purpose labs – suitable for archery, golf, badminton and dancing.

The 2,600-square-foot Tommy Evans Memorial Lounge, used for preand post-game receptions and department functions, is housed on the south end of the second floor.

The 125,538-square-foot building also includes a $675,000 classroom wing and a $1.3 million office wing that houses the bulk of The University’s athletics department staff.

All 5,500 seats in the arena are retractable to facilitate the use of the 18,000-square-foot floor for physical education activities, concerts, conventions and other special events.

Armchair seating is available on the lower level (1,323) and on the west-side upper level (773), while the remaining seats are bleacher style.

Improved locker rooms were added to the Rhodes Arena complex in the fall of 1992. The new team facilities were funded through private contributions to the Zips Athletics Club.

Rhodes Arena plays host to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Wine and Gold intrasquad scrimmage every October, along with the LeBron James Skills Academy (showcase for the nation’s best high school players) and the LeBron James King’s Academy (youth camp) each summer. The King James Shooting Stars Classic (AAU tournament) is also headquartered on the UA campus each spring.

The JAR is also home to summer camps for both the Akron women’s basketball and volleyball programs. Women’s basketball holds a twoday team shootout and a four-day individual camp geared toward high school players of all skill levels, along with a Li’l Zips Day Camp and an Elite Camp. Similar to that, volleyball offers two team camps and a two-day individual camp, along with several individual day clinics designed to teach specific aspects of the game to all skill levels.

Student-Athletes

The men’s basketball program hosts the Zips Basketball School, the Offensive Skills Camp and Basketball Elite Workout camps, in addition to a Team Shootout. Under the direction of coach Dambrot and his coaching staff, the camps exhibit Coach Dambrot’s emphasis on fundamentals, defense and hard work as the major components of being a great basketball player.

Head Coach Sixth Season Slippery Rock, 1984 • 2010 MAC Coach of the Year • 60-92 at Akron (.395) • 286-245 Overall (.539, 19 Seasons)

Jodi Kest, the 2009-10 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year, returns for her sixth year as head coach of The University of Akron women’s basketball program. After leading the Zips to their most successful season in program history in 2009-10, she took the Zips back to Cleveland in 2010-11 to the Mid-American Conference Tournament Quarterfinals, where Akron almost pulled the upset on top-seeded and eventual WNIT champion Toledo.

Staff

The 2011-12 season has Kest poised to become the winningest coach in program history, as she currently ranks third on the Zips’ all-time coaching wins list with a 60-92 record at Akron (.395), behind Mary Ann Tripodi and John Street, who each have 65 wins. Overall, Kest owns a 286-245 (.539) career head coaching record over 19 seasons.

Several records were broken last season, highlighted by Kara Murphy surpassing Cheryl Bowles for the all-time scoring record. Murphy was Kest’s first-ever recruit at Akron. In almost storybook fashion, Murphy broke the record on two crucial free throws in the final minutes at Buffalo to help give Akron a gritty road victory, 71-67. She also became the Zips’ all-time leader with 123 games played, never missing a start in her career.

Four Zips received conference honors for their play during the 2010-11 campaign. Tecca highlighted the group, as she became just the third player in program history to make the All-MAC First Team. Murphy, Akron’s lone senior, earned Honorable Mention honors to join Cheryl Bowles as the only two Zips to garner all-conference recognition all four years of their career.

Earning recognition off the court as well, Tecca was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Third Team for District 4, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The list recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performance on the floor and in the classroom. This is the first such honor for the Tallmadge, Ohio native, who carries a 3.90 GPA in corporate financial management. Tecca became the first women’s basketball player in program history to earn this distinction.

Adding to her accolades, Tecca was Akron’s lone representative on the Academic All-MAC squad, marking the third consecutive year that the Zips placed a member on the team. Both Taylor Ruper and Natasha Williams earned Honorable Mention honors, as well.

Since arriving on campus in 2006, Kest, who inherited a program that had won an average of four games per season in the six years prior to her arrival, has elevated the Zips to unprecedented heights, highlighted by the 2009-10 record-setting campaign. Under Kest, Akron has now won more games in her past three seasons alone (43) than in the seven seasons prior to her arrival (35 wins from 1999-2000 to 2005-06).

In 2009-10, UA recorded its highest win total (18) in the 36-year history of the program. The Zips also set highs for league wins (11), home wins (11) and held opponents to an average of 59.6 points per game, representing the best mark in school history and the third-lowest average in league history.

Kest became the first UA women’s coach to receive Coach of the Year accolades from the MAC and just the second Akron basketball coach (men’s or women’s) to do so, following Dan Hipsher, who was presented

For the sixth-straight year, Akron placed a representative on the AllFreshman Team in Carly Young. Also, junior Jasmine Mushington was named Co-Sixth Player of the Year with Central Michigan’s Taylor Johnsson. Keeping it in the Zip family, Tecca was the recipient of the award in 2009-10. In just six seasons, Kest has now had seven student-athletes earn All-MAC recognition, six make the All-Freshman Team, and two earn Sixth Player of the Year honors.

2010-11 Review

Under Kest’s guidance, Rachel Tecca had one of the best seasons in program history as only a sophomore in 2010-11. Her 475 points are fifth-most all-time and her 288 rebounds are third-most ever in a single season. She also set the program mark for double-doubles in a season with 16. She finished the year averaging 15.8 points per game and 9.6 rebounds per game, along with a 49.6 field goal percentage.

Coach Kest has led the team to back-to-back appearances in the MAC Tournament quarterfinals, narrowly missing the upset of topseeded Toledo in 2011.

Student-Athletes

In 2010-11, the Zips finished 14-16 overall and 6-10 in conference play.

As a team, they set new marks with the largest margin of victory ever in a MAC game when they defeated Northern Illinois by 29 points on the road on Feb. 5. Akron’s 4-4 record in league road games tied the best finish since the 1999-2000 season.

the award for the men’s team in 1997-98.

In addition to the aforementioned benchmarks, Akron (18-14, 11-5 MAC) secured a first-round bye at the MAC Tournament for the first time and advanced to the semifinals for just the second time since becoming a league member in 1992. The Zips were then selected to compete in the Women’s Basketball Invitational, marking their first postseason appearance in 11 years and just their second appearance all-time.

After the milestone year, Kest was rewarded with a new contract extension that will keep her at UA through the 2014-15 season.

After opening the season with a 6-8 record, the Zips caught fire, winning 11 of their last 15 games of the regular season. Highlighting the hot stretch was a five-game win streak in league play against West Division foes Western Michigan (58-44), Ball State (66-64, OT), Eastern Michigan (73-66), Central Michigan (62-55) and Northern Illinois (57-39). Wins over the Cardinals and Eagles during that run represented two of five MAC road wins on the season for UA, which was another program high.

In all, the Zips won eight of nine contests from early January to the start of February to finish third in the MAC East Division. It was UA’s secondhighest league finish in the league since joining the MAC in 1992.

Individual accolades followed the Zips’ record-setting season. In addition to Kest’s coaching honors, Akron placed two on the All-MAC squad – Kara Murphy earned second team recognition while Kyle Baumgartner was named to the third team – and freshman Rachel Tecca became the first women’s basketball player in Zips’ history to be named MAC Sixth Player of the Year. Tecca, who averaged 10.4 points and 6.1 rebounds in 22.5 minutes off the bench, was also named to the All-MAC Freshman Team. Following the season, senior Jolene Tamboue was named to the Academic All-MAC Team after posting a 3.353 cumulative GPA as a biochemistry major at UA. Murphy, in particular, blossomed under Kest’s guidance. The gem of Kest’s first recruiting class at UA, she led the conference in scoring (19.3 ppg), while ranking 22nd nationally, as a sophomore in 2008-09. Furthermore, the physical forward set the school’s single-season record for points (580) and became the youngest player in UA history to reach the 1,000-point plateau for a career. Murphy scored at least 20 points in 16 of 30 games that year and eclipsed the 30-point barrier three times.

For her efforts, Murphy was named to the All-MAC first team, joining Cheryl Bowles (1999-00) as the only two players in program history to receive first-team accolades. Her record-setting season followed a freshman campaign that saw her lead the Zips in scoring (14.5 ppg) and team up with Keyla Snowden (14.2) to form the highest-scoring freshman duo in the nation. Murphy subsequently earned all-freshman and All-MAC third team honors.

The Zips’ historic campaign followed a breakout season on many fronts in 2008-09. In a year that began with an upset win over Michigan – just the program’s second ever victory against a Big Ten opponent, UA recorded its highest win totals, for both overall record (11) and in MAC play (6), in nine years.

Furthermore, the Zips snapped a number of dubious streaks along the way; defeating Kent State at home to snap a string of 18 straight defeats to the rival Golden Flashes, ending a 16-game slide to Ohio and a sevengame streak to Buffalo, and recording the program’s first league road victory since 2004-05 - snapping a string of 19 consecutive defeats - with a convincing 68-56 decision at Miami (Ohio).

Kest enjoyed an impressive inaugural campaign in 2006-07 that saw the Zips double their win total from the previous year, experience their longest winning streak since 1996 and place two players on All-Mid-American Conference postseason teams.

A one-point victory over Lehigh in December of ‘06 jump started a sixgame win streak for the Zips en route to their first double-digit win season since 1999-2000. Although UA struggled early on in league play, the young team showed resolve late by winning three of its final eight contests – including a tough, overtime defeat on the road in the regularseason finale.

In 2007-08, the Zips got off to a quick start in posting big wins at home against Saint Louis (81-77) and Houston (81-76). Despite a difficult nonconference schedule against some of the nation’s elite teams, including Utah, Nebraska and Dayton, Akron was an even .500 (5-5) after the first 10 games of the year. But injuries and inexperience led to challenges down the stretch.

Despite that, Murphy recorded one of the most prolific individual seasons in school history. She became the first UA freshman to receive allconference honors, earning a third team designation after leading the

team in scoring (14.5/game), rebounding (5.6/game) and steals (40). She was also the ninth-highest freshman scorer in the nation and earned a spot on the MAC All-Freshman team. Her 449 point total for the year was the fifth-highest mark in school history.

Prior to coming to Akron, Kest guided the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi program to a 73-40 (.646) record (16-12 in 2005-06) in four years, tallying a winning mark in each season and being named Independent Coach of the Year three times (2003, 2004, 2005).

Also, under Kest’s tutelage, guard Terra Andrews was named Division I Independent Player of the year in three consecutive seasons from 2003-06. With the Islanders, Kest posted the 200th win of her career and left the school with the most wins in program history.

The highlight of her tenure came during the 2004-05 campaign when the Islanders won a school-record 23 games (23-7), and advanced to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. The team received votes in the top 25 poll that season as well. From 20042006, TAMU-CC defeated such teams as Indiana, West Virginia, Nevada, Fresno State and Kent State.

Kest served as coach at Gannon University in Erie, Pa., for six seasons (1996-97 through 2001-02) prior to her stop in Corpus Christi. During that time, she developed a two-time Division II All-American, 10 all-conference players, a pair of freshmen of the year and five all-defensive first team honorees.

In 2001-02, the Golden Knights won the GLIAC South championship, advanced to the Division II national tournament and were ranked as high as sixth in the nation. Overall, Kest built a 105-64 (.621) mark with the Golden Knights, and guided the program to three-consecutive NCAA Division II tournament appearances and three-straight 20-win seasons.

Under Kest’s leadership, Gannon center Kristin Roseberry developed into one of the best players in the nation, earning All-American honors in 2000 and 2001. Roseberry was named GLIAC Freshman of the Year in 1999 before guard Jen Gwin earned that distinction in 2002. Kest left the school with the most victories in program history.

Kest cut her teeth as a head coach at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., from 1986-1990 (48-49/.494), rebuilding the struggling Division III program. After posting a 17-29 combined mark in her first two years at the helm, the 1988-89 campaign brought major improvements as the team qualified for the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs for the first time in program history with a 16-10 record. She was tabbed as the league’s coach of the year that season.

The ninth head coach in Akron program history, Kest served as an assistant coach at a number of Division I schools, logging time at Maine (1990-92), Cleveland State (1992-93), Nevada (1993-95) and Cal Poly (1995-96).

A 1984 graduate of Slippery Rock, with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education, Kest was a two-sport standout in basketball and tennis. The three-time basketball team captain garnered All-American honors on the hardwood her final two seasons.

She led the “Rock” in scoring in three-successive seasons, averaging 13.6 points in 1981-82; 17.8 points in 1982-83, and 19.8 points in 1983-84.

She finished her collegiate career with 1,289 points and 540 rebounds, and was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994.

In 1986, she received a master of science in education from Northwest Missouri State, where she served as graduate assistant coach from 198486.

Ayla Guzzardo returns for her second season with the Zips coaching staff after spending last year as a graduate assistant. She also spent her final two collegiate seasons as a member of the team.

“I am thrilled to promote Ayla to assistant coach,” said Coach Kest.

“Her familiarity with our program and the conference is a great asset to have on our staff. Ayla was an extremely passionate, enthusiastic and hard-working player. I have great confidence that she will bring those characteristics to our coaching staff.“ The Hammond, La., native appeared in every game of her UA career, starting all of them in her senior season. She notched 133 assists in 2009-10, which ranks fourth all-time in program history. Her 238 career assists also put her eighth all-time in the record books.

Records & history

WICHITA, Kan. –The fifth-seeded University of Akron women’s basketball team was defeated by fourth-seeded Wichita State, 67-61, Thursday night in the opening round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational at Charles Koch Arena.

Senior forward Jolene Tamboue recorded her seventh double-double of the season in her final game as the Kansas native paced the Zips (18-14) with 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Shockers (18-14), who trailed by 11 points at halftime, opened the second period with a 22-6 run and held on late to eliminate Akron from postseason play.

Junior Kara Murphy joined Tamboue in double figures with 14 points on 5-for-9 shooting. Jessica Diamond led four WSU players in double figures with 14 points.

It was a strong-shooting first half for Akron, which took a 37-26 lead into the locker room, as the Zips connected on 55.6 percent (15-for-27) from the field while converting all six free throw attempts.

The Shockers turned the tables in the second half, however, scoring the first six points of the period to cut the deficit to five, 37-32. They saw their lead grow to as many as seven points but lay-ins by Murphy on back-toback possessions kept UA’s hopes alive; pulling the Zips to within three, 52-49, with 4:15 left.

WSU’s Haleigh Lankster answered with a 3-pointer, however, to spark a 7-0 run and hold on for the victory.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Despite a game-high 25 points by Akron's Cheryl Bowles, Michigan State took advantage of a depleted Zips lineup to pull out a 76-65 win in the first round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament.

Akron led most of the first half, jumping out to a 19-14 advantage with 9:43 before the break. The Spartans went on a 5-0 run to tie the game at 19 and took their first lead, 22-19 on a three-pointer by Maxann Reese with 7:13 left in the half.

MSU extended the lead to as many as seven with 2:37 left until intermission but a 7-3 Zips run over the final two minutes drew Akron to within three, 35-32, at the break.

In the second half, the Zips pulled to within one on two occasions early, but would get no closer. The Spartans extended the lead to as much as 12 points, 61-49, with 9:03 remaining, but the Zips had one more run left.

Keyed by six points from Bowles and five from Abby Hoy, who had 18 total, the Zips used a 13-4 run over the next six minutes to trail by only three with just under three minutes remaining. Akron had a chance to tie with a threepointer by freshman Hollie Stephenson but it was just off the mark. The Spartans rebounded and took control closing the game with an 11-3 run for the final margin.

In the MAC Tournament, the Zips had advanced to the semifinal, falling to Toledo, 86-65, at the SeaGate Center.
