What is a Zip? 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.

2014-15 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

The women’s squad has posted a combined 23-5 record at home over the last two seasons under ninth-year head coach Jodi Kest. That stretch featured a 13-game winning streak at the JAR, the longest in program history.

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. The main scoreboard, also called Zips Vision, 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.

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 125,538-square-foot building also includes an office wing that houses the bulk of The University’s athletics department staff.

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 Z-Fund. Rhodes Arena has played host to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Wine and Gold intrasquad scrimmage in the past, 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). The King James Shooting Stars Classic (AAU tournament) also called James A. Rhodes Arena home at one point.

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 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 new surface also saw the addition of the school’s new logo and word marks, which were unveiled in July 2002. In fall 2008, new courtside tables with LED display capabilities, were purchased for the venue. In 2013, a new lighting project was completed inside the arena, as well as the lobby of the JAR.

RECORD BOOK

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. The weight room services 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.

2013-14 YEAR IN REVIEW

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

Rhodes Arena 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.

COACHING STAFF STUDENT-ATHLETES

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 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.

STUDENT-ATHLETES COACHING 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, convocation and other special events.

AKRON ZIPS PNC HEADER WAGON WHEEL CHALLENGE On August 24, 2011, the athletics departments at The University of Akron (UA) and Kent State University (KSU) announced participation in a new competition called “The PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge,” which further expands an intercollegiate athletics rivalry dating back more than a half-century between the two schools. The PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge is based on a time-honored competition for an historic wooden wagon wheel trophy awarded originally in 1945 to the winner of the annual Akron-Kent State football game. For the 2011-12 academic year, the PNC-sponsored rivalry will broaden the competition to include 15 NCAA varsity sports, with victories in each sport adding one point to the challenge standings.

STUDENT-ATHLETES

Fans can learn more about the rivalry and follow the results and standings via www.PNCWagonWheelChallenge.com. “PNC’s new athletic challenge will spark more excitement in a broad range of sports between these rival schools,” said Kevin O. Thompson, PNC regional president for Akron, Canton and Wooster. “By showcasing the talents of student-athletes, we will further engage alumni and the community to support our schools.” In keeping with tradition, the annual winner of the football contest will gain possession of the historic wooden Wagon Wheel trophy, while the school that accumulates the most total points in all varsity matchups for that academic year will receive an overall series trophy. “The Akron-Kent State rivalry is a regional event and this partnership will help expand it to more sports and likewise more fans,” Akron director of athletics Tom Wistrcill said. “We’re excited to have PNC serve as sponsor of what is one of the more unique rivalries in college athletics. As members of the Mid-American Conference, the results of our competitions against one another are already very important, but the Wagon Wheel Challenge will increase the level of bragging rights around the community.” According to legend, the “Wagon Wheel” trophy traces its beginnings to the spring of 1870 when Akron industrialist John R. Buchtel set out for the town of Kent in search of a site to establish a college. In the muddy Ohio fields, however, his wagon became bogged down in the area where Kent State University is currently located. When horses pulled the wagon, a wheel came loose and became buried until it was discovered in 1902 during the construction of a pipeline along the Western Reserve Trail. The wheel eventually fell into the possession of Dr. Raymond Manchester, who as the Kent State Dean of Men in 1945, suggested the local historic artifact be offered as the trophy to the winner of the annual AkronKent State football game. Through the 2011 game, Kent State leads the series 21–19–1 in Wagon Wheel games. Dating to 1923, Akron leads the all-time series on the gridiron, 30-22-2. “College athletics is built on strong rivalries, and we’re fortunate to have one of the closest in the country with Akron,” Kent State director of athletics Joel Nielsen said. “We’re very appreciative of PNC’s support of the Wagon Wheel Challenge – this model has worked very well with other schools and it can only help grow this rivalry and make it even stronger.”

PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge - Rules and Qualifying Sports • Each of the fifteen (15) sports will be worth one (1) point. For a school to be the winner of The PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge, it must accumulate at least eight (8) points. • The point is awarded to the team that wins the season series in the head-to-head competition. • If the teams play head-to-head once in a given season (e.g. football), then the school that wins will receive the point. • All regular season games count toward the season series tally (including if non-conference games are played) with the school that wins more games (e.g., winning two of three in softball) receiving the point. If teams split the regular season matchups (e.g., in basketball), then each team receives a one-half (½) point for that sport. • For men’s and women’s cross country, golf and indoor/outdoor track and field, one point is awarded to whichever school finishes higher in the MAC Championship for each of those sports. (For these sports, no other competitions – in-season or post-season – will count toward the series). • MAC and/or NCAA Tournament games can count toward determining the season series winner (e.g., the schools split the two regular season meetings in basketball and then plays in the MAC Tournament, whichever school wins that game is awarded the point). • In the event of a 15-sports season tie, the school that won the trophy the previous year will retain possession. (If there is a tie in the first year, then the schools will share the trophy). 2013-14 Results Kent State won the Wagon Wheel trophy for a third-consecutive season, posting an 8.5-6.5 victory.

Jodi Kest

Head Coach Ninth Season Slippery Rock, 1984 » 2010 MAC Coach of the Year » 120-130 at Akron (.480) » 346-283 Overall (.550, 22 Seasons) The longest tenured women’s basketball head coach in the Mid-American Conference, Jodi Kest returns for her ninth year leading The University of Akron women’s basketball program. She is back on the sidelines after guiding the Zips to their best season in the 40-year history of the program, capped by the first-ever Mid-American Conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2014. Kest has amassed over 340 victories in her head coaching career, highlighted by back-to-back 23-win seasons in the last two years. She has guided Akron to two consecutive postseason berths (NCAA 2014, WNIT 2013) and three overall postseason appearances in the last five years. Under Kest’s tutelage, Akron has become well-known for its uptempo style of play and has established itself as one of the top-scoring teams in the country. Kest’s squad was ranked 11th in the nation in scoring offense in 2013-14 after averaging 82.0 points per game. The third-seeded Zips won their first MAC Tournament title in 2014 when they defeated fifth-seeded Ball State, 79-68, at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The victory gave Akron the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, which was Kest’s first appearance on the national stage as a Division I head coach. The Zips would eventually fall on the road at Purdue in their first round game, closing out a historic season for the Blue and Gold. The season also featured a school-record 13-game winning streak from Jan. 18 to March 5, 2014. During the last week of the regular season, it was one of 10 active double-digit winning streaks in Division I. UA shot 45.8 percent from the field and outscored its opponents by an average of 16.5 points per game during that span. Kest has produced three of the most decorated players in Akron women’s basketball history in Hanna Luburgh (2010-14), Kara Murphy (200811) and Rachel Tecca (2009-14). Murphy, Kest’s first ever recruit at Akron, was the program’s all-time leading scorer until Tecca broke her former teammate’s record in 2013. Tecca was UA’s first ever MAC Player of the Year as a redshirt junior, was also a two-time Academic All-American, and the 2014 MAC Tournament Most Valuable Player. She became just the second player in MAC history to surpass 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career. Luburgh set Akron’s single-season scoring record during her senior season with 734 points. Together, Together, Tecca and Luburgh were the highest scoring duo in the nation as seniors, and the pair went on to play professionally overseas in Iceland and Poland, respectively. Akron captured its first MAC East Division crown and made its first appearance in the conference championship game in 2013, after Kest led the team to win nine out of its last 10 regular season games. UA went on to earn an invitation to the WNIT for the first time since 1999.

COACHING STAFF STUDENT-ATHLETES

Kest, who arrived on the campus of UA in 2006, has successfully turned the women’s basketball program around and continues to lead her team to unprecedented heights. She has guided the Zips to 46 victories over the last two seasons after the team won just 24 games in the six years combined prior to her arrival in Akron.

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 2004-2006, TAMU-CC defeated such teams as Indiana, West Virginia, Nevada, Fresno State and Kent State.

Sam Pierce

Associate Head Coach Seventh Season Richmond, 2004

Melissa Jackson is in her seventh season on the Akron staff and her third as associate head coach. She serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator and offensive coordinator and works primarily with the guards. Jackson’s recruiting efforts have been instrumental in bringing the Akron women’s basketball program to the forefront of the Mid-American Conference over the past several seasons. Akron’s 2013-14 senior class marked Jackson’s first full recruiting class at UA, and left as the all-time winningest class in school history with 74 victories over four years. From 2012-14, Jackson transformed Hanna Luburgh into one of the most feared shooting guards in the conference. Luburgh left the program as the fourth all-time leading scorer in school history with 1,634 points. She also set the single-season scoring record as a senior, posting a league-leading 734 points. The two-time all-conference and all-MAC Tournament selection ranked 13th in the country in points per game, and is now playing professionally overseas in Lublin, Poland. Also under Jackson’s watch, Taylor Ruper earned All-MAC honors in 2012. During Ruper’s career at Akron, Jackson helped to develop her into Akron’s all-time leading 3-point shooter, and one of the best longrange shooters in the league as well. Jackson joined the UA staff after helping to guide the University of Delaware program to three postseason berths – including a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2007 – in four seasons while in the same role from 200405 to 2007-08. During Jackson’s time at Delaware, the Blue Hens captured a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) regular season championship in 2004-05, a pair of WNIT berths in 2005 and 2006, and earned an at-large bid to the Big Dance with a 26-6 record in 2007. Overall, UD posted a four year record of 80-44 (.645) and won 71 percent of its conference games (5121) during that stretch. Jackson, who worked primarily with the guards at Delaware, helped mentor 2007 WNBA draftee (No. 18 overall) and former Detroit Shock guard Tyresa Smith and a pair of CAA defensive players of the year in Smith (‘06, ‘07) and Kyle DeHaven (‘08). Jackson also played key roles in the recruitment of Jocelyn Bailey, a Top 100 player according to HoopGurlz.com in 2008, and Tesia Harris, the 14th-best swing guard in the nation according to the All-Star Girls Report in 2007. Jackson played four seasons at the University of Richmond and earned a political science degree in May of 2004. She appeared in 50 career games as a guard with the Atlantic 10 Conference power and earned WNIT berths in both 2003 and 2004. Her ‘04 squad advanced to the semifinals. A former All-State selection at Hazleton High School in Hazelton, Pa., Jackson is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and has participated in a number of charitable programs, including Habitat for Humanity, Helping Hands and Adopt a Grandparent. Jackson and her husband, Drew, currently reside in Bay Village with their son, Luke.

2014-15 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

A HISTORIC SEASON

Rachel Tecca

• Akron earned the MAC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament after winning three games in three days at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. It was the first NCAA Tournament appearance for Akron women’s basketball, and the third postseason appearance for the program in the last five years. • The Zips were selected as the No. 13 seed in the South Bend region and traveled to No. 4 seed Purdue to play the Boilermakers on their home court at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Ind. • UA kept it close in the first half, trailing 46-34 at the break, but would fall 84-55 as the historic season came to a close. • Akron ended the season with four 1,000 point scorers on its roster - Hanna Luburgh, Sina King, Rachel Tecca and Carly Young. Tecca became just the second player in MAC history to surpass 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career.

2013-14 YEAR IN REVIEW

Hanna Luburgh

Following graduation in 2014, seniors Hanna Luburgh and Rachel Tecca signed contracts to play professionally overseas. Luburgh went on to play for AZS UMCS in Lublin, Poland, for the 2014-15 season, while Tecca traveled to Iceland to compete for U.M.F. Grindavik out of the Dominos League. The pair were two of the most prolific scorers to come through Akron, as Tecca left as the career scoring leader and Luburgh holds the single-season record.

FIRST DANCE

• The program’s motto for the season was “Breakthroo”, as the Zips built on the accomplishments from 2012-13 and continued to set the new standard of success for Akron women’s basketball. • Akron’s signature high-octane offense averaged a school-record 82.0 points per game, which ranked 11th in the nation in scoring offense. UA was also seventh in the country in assists per game at 18.5, fueled by Kacie Cassell (left), the school’s all-time career assists leader (688). • Rachel Tecca and Hanna Luburgh were named to the All-MAC First Team as the topscoring duo in the country, averaging a combined 44.3 points per contest. • Tecca, the MAC Tournament MVP and an WBCA All-Region selection, also earned First Team Academic All-American honors after receiving a second team nod as a junior. She was the first Akron women’s basketball player ever to earn this distinction.

Zips in the Pros

BREAKING THROUGH

STUDENT-ATHLETES COACHING STAFF

• In Coach Kest’s eighth year at the helm, the University of Akron women’s basketball team captured its second-consecutive 23-win season in 2013-14, finishing the year with a 23-10 overall record and a 14-4 mark in Mid-American Conference play. • Along with several team and individual school records, the Zips secured their first Mid-American Conference Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth in the 40-year history of the program. • Akron used the strength of a school-record 13game winning streak to earn the No. 3 seed in the MAC Tournament for the second-straight season. During the last week of the regular season, it was one of 10 active double-digit winning streaks in Division I. • The 2014 senior class graduated as the winningest class in school history, collecting 74 victories from 2010-14 (Kacie Cassell, Cari Guyton, Hanna Luburgh, Rachel Tecca and Carly Young).

2014-15 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2014 NCAA Tournament Women’s Basketball falls to Purdue in NCAA Tournament, 84-55 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The thirteenth-seeded University of Akron women’s basketball team ended its postseason run Saturday afternoon with an 84-55 loss to fourth-seeded Purdue in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Mackey Arena.

Rachel Tecca led the Zips with 18 points, and Kacie Cassell added seven points and a game-high 11 assists. Hanna Luburgh grabbed a team-high eight rebounds, but Akron’s sharpshooter was limited to nine points. Akron was unable to keep pace with Purdue on the glass, as the Boilermakers won the rebounding battle, 50-28. The difference limited UA’s traditional fast-paced transition game and allowed Purdue to put up 19 second-chance points. Whitney Bays led Purdue (22-8) with 20 points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes.

Luburgh picked up her first points of the day on a 3-pointer at the 10:52 mark of the first half, and a long two from Tecca on the Zips’ next possession cut the deficit to 10 points at 30-20 and forced a Purdue timeout. The Zips continued to hang with the Boilermakers, despite Purdue’s hot hand from the field. The Boilermakers had nine different players score in the opening period, including five 3-pointers.

Halftime: Purdue, 46-34. Att. 3342.

The Zips did enough to keep Purdue in their sights, trailing by 12 at halftime, 46-34. Akron harnessed some momentum over the last three minutes, when Carly Young stepped in to take her second charge of the day. Tecca’s turnaround jumper with 2:30 on the clock cut Purdue’s advantage to 10 for the second time. Purdue started the second half with two quick buckets in the first minute before Akron called a timeout. The Zips could not match Purdue’s pace in the second 20 minutes, falling behind by 19 points by the 16:07 mark.

2013-14 YEAR IN REVIEW

With under five minutes to play in the half, Luburgh pulled down a monster rebound and kicked it up the floor to Cassell who found Anita Brown in transition, putting the score at 42-30 in Purdue’s favor just before the last media timeout.

COACHING STAFF STUDENT-ATHLETES

The Zips struggled to find their rhythm in the early going, falling behind 20-2 in the first four and a half minutes. Courtney Moses buried two quick 3-pointers for Purdue, and the Boilermakers’ tight defense and dominating presence inside hindered Akron’s ability to run the floor, forcing the Zips into a half-court set for much of the half.

HEADER POSTSEASON HISTORY

2013 Women’s National Invitation Tournament Women’s Basketball bows out of WNIT with 71-66 loss at Duquesne PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Sina King surpassed 1,000 career points and the University of Akron shot 47.1 percent from behind the 3-point arc, but neither was enough to carry the Zips to their first postseason victory in a 71-66 loss at Duquesne in the first round of the Women’s NIT. Hanna Luburgh led all Akron scorers with 19 points and was one rebound short of a double-double with nine. Rachel Tecca was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line en route to 16 points and eight boards, and Taylor Ruper drained 4-of-6 from long range to finish with 14 points. King ended the night with 15 points, and hit her career milestone with two free throws at the 8:14 mark of the first half. She was 9-for-10 from the line, also grabbing eight rebounds. The contest was a wild one that featured 17 lead changes and seven ties in 40 minutes. The Zips put together a 9-0 run over the last two minutes of the first half to build a six-point lead at halftime at 37-31. UA was a perfect 12-for-12 from the charity stripe and out-rebounded the Dukes 26-18 in the first period. Luburgh scored 11 of her points and collected seven of her rebounds during that time. The second half started off slow for both teams, until Tecca put in a soft jump hook at the 15:33 mark to break the scoreless drought. The Zips held their largest lead of the night at 11 with 13:16 left on the clock after Ruper knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers and forced a Duquesne timeout. The Dukes slowly started to chip away over the next several minutes, making the most of Akron’s 26 turnovers in all. Trailing by five with 45 seconds to go, Luburgh achieved the improbable and converted a 4-point play to make it a one-point game at 67-66 in Duquesne’s favor with 35 seconds to play. Akron put on its pressure defense but could not capitalize on a key steal from Cassell as Duquesne knocked down four-straight free throws down the stretch to secure the game.

1999 Women’s National Invitation Tournament

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.

2013-14 YEAR IN REVIEW

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.
