She previously served as assistant coach for four seasons. During that time, she has helped guide the Maroons to a 128-55 record overall, three NCAA tournament appearances, and consecutive undefeated University Athletic Association (UAA) titles. She has coached players who have garnered 11 All-American honors (WBCA, D3Hoops, DIII News), the 2012 Jostens Trophy Award winner (Taylor Simpson), and 29 All-UAA players, including two UAA Players of theYear (Taylor Simpson and Morgan Herrick). In 2014-15, the Maroons were UAA champions with a 12-2 conference mark. Sain Knoche and her assistants were named UAA Coaching Staff of the Year. UChicago won 12-straight games during the conference season and finished with an 18-7 overall record. In 2013-14, UChicago set new school records with 201 three-pointers made, 570 three-pointers attempted and a .782 free-throw percentage. Sain Knoche has spent the last 15 years in the UAA. Her first eight years were spent at Carnegie Mellon University as a player (2000-05) and an assistant coach (05-08). As a player, she was a four-year starter, a three-time All-UAA pick and finished her career as CMU’s sixth-leading all-time scorer with 1,189 points. She also set CMU marks for most 3-point field goals in a career (175) and season (54). Sain Knoche holds a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon and a master’s degree in exercise physiology with a focus on performance enhancement and injury prevention from California University of Pennsylvania. She is certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Performance Enhancement Specialist and is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

Community Outreach At UChicago, we want our student-athletes to be more than just basketball players. We encourage them to actively involved and contributing members to the community around them. Here are just a few examples of how they give back to the community.

Project Rousseau The comprehensive four-year one-to-one mentoring program is focused on assisting underprivileged high school students to reach their potential both inside and outside the realm of the classroom. Madison Dunbar (’18) and Sarah McNeilly (’18) both tutor and mentor a student that they were matched up with their freshman year.

STARS Tutoring After school tutoring program at Ray Elementary that focuses on helping ESL students with their homework because most of them don’t have a first language English speaker at home to help them. Paige Womack (’16) and Caitlin Moore (’16) both have been involved in the program.

ArtShould Mary Grace Bilby (’18), works at Bret Harte Elementary as mentor through an after-school art program. The goal is to not only promote art in the Hyde Park community but also to form relationships with children in the Chicago Public School system.

Global Medical Brigades The mission of Global Medical Brigades is to empower volunteers to facilitate sustainable solutions in underresourced communities while fostering local cultures. Former Maroons Kate Casaday (’14), Jenna Lillemoe (’13) and Joann Torres (’12) traveled to Honduras with Global Medical Brigades. Former Maroon Taylor Simpson (’12) brought this organization to campus in the fall of 2008.

Travel at UChicago Travel to exciting destinations -- both international and domestic -- has been a significant feature of the Chicago basketball program. In the fall of 2015, the Maroons headed to Australia and New Zealand, from Sept. 3-17. In 2012, the Maroons spent time touring Italy. Chicago also previously traveled overseas to Argentina and Chile in 2009 and Italy in 2006. During the 2014-15 regular season, the Maroons logged more than 3,500 air miles as they navigated their 25-game slate with traditional weekend trips to UAA host cities New York, Boston, Atlanta, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Rochester. Other non-conference stops in recent years have included Minneapolis, Newark, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Louisville, Green Bay, Seattle and South Bend.

Travel at UChicago

The four main cities that the team stayed in during the trip to New Zealand and Australia were Queenstown, Christchurch, Cairns and Sydney. The packed itinerary included ATV-ing and zip-lining in the mountains of Queenstown and traveling through the New Zealand country side to coach a youth basketball clinic. The team also played a game against the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. The Maroons then flew to Cairns to scuba and snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef, hold koalas and feed the kangaroos at a local zoo. The final destination led them to Sydney, Australia where they spent five days exploring and shopping in the city, hanging out at Bondi beach, had a team surfing lesson at Manly Beach, climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, touring the iconic Sydney Opera House, and taking part in the local chocolate festival and street markets. The trip was capped off with a cricket lesson at the Sydney Cricket Ground, followed by a team dinner at the finest Japanese steakhouse in the city. On the final day in Australia, senior Helen Petersen reflected on the trip, “It is not lost on us that we are some of the most fortunate young adults in the world for the opportunity to play at UChicago and this trip only made that increasingly obvious. Our trip to New Zealand and Australia was one of the coolest things we have ever done and something that will continue to be a highlight of our collegiate experience. Thank you again to everyone who made it happen.�

Ratner Athletics Center In the fall of 2003, UChicago Athletics entered a new era with the opening of the $51 million Gerald Ratner Athletics Center. Designed by famed architect Cesar Pelli, the 150,000-square-foot facility includes a 1,658-seat competition gymnasium which is home to the UChicago basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams. In addition to the competition gymnasium, the facility features the 50-meter Myers-McLoraine Pool, the Bernard J. DelGiorno Fitness Center, a dance studio, classrooms, the Athletics Hall of Fame, locker rooms and offices.

• The facility received awards from the American Council of Engineering Companies, the American Institute of Steel Construction, and the Consulting Engineers Council of Illinois for its excellence in engineering and design. • The Ratner Athletics Center is named in honor of Gerald Ratner (A.B.’35, J.D.’37), an outfielder at UChicago during its days as a member of the Big Ten Conference. • In Carissa Sain Knoche’s seven years in the program, UChicago has posted a 128-55 record overall, three NCAA tournament appearances, and consecutive undefeated University Athletic Association (UAA) titles.

Ratner Athletics Center

The Ratner Athletics Center competition gym has been the site for the McDonald’s All-American Games

POWERADE Jam Fest over the past four years. The top 48 boys and girls in the country are invited to compete in a Skills Competition, Three-Point Shootout and Slam Dunk Contest. Past participants included Jahlil Okafor, Aaron Gordon and Greyson Allen.

Ratner was also the site for the first round and championships games of the 2013-14 Chicago Catholic

League (CLL) Tournament. The league was formed in 1912 as a way to give the all-male Catholic schools interscholastic competition. Charter members included Loyola Academy, St. Cyril (Mt. Carmel), DePaul Academy, St. Philip, St. Ignatius, De La Salle, Cathedral and St. Stanislaus. However, the tournament was not added until 2013 as a way to bring about one single champion. In the past, there would be one winner from each division, north and south.

Previously, the Ratner Athletics Center hosted the 2013 Chicago United Hoops Classic, where two teams

of high school players, South and West, competed against one another. Put together to bring awareness to senseless acts of street violence, the Chicago United Hoops Classic teaches kids to learn character and leadership off the court and invest in an education.

Traditions The “C” Logo The University of Chicago athletics emblem underwent several changes during the institution’s early years. The first football team in 1892 sported no recognizable emblem on its uniforms. In an effort to provide the team with an identity, the letters “UC” were cut out of brown paper and pasted on the players’ uniforms. In the spring of 1893, the emblem was modified into the form of a monogram that the baseball team incorporated on its uniforms. A single letter was used for the first time in 1894 when the football and track squads displayed an oblong “C” on their uniforms. That emblem remained in existence until 1897 when it was replaced by a “C” in large, round type. Then in 1898, Maroon teams adopted the Chicago “C” emblem, which has been worn to the present day.

1898––

Maroon, Maroons & The Phoenix Maroon and “Maroons” became the University of Chicago’s official color and nickname, respectively, at a meeting of students and faculty on May 5, 1894. Before the University held its first classes on October 1, 1892, the Board of Trustees had selected goldenrod (yellow) as the school’s official color. By 1894, however, Chicago’s legendary football coach Amos Alonzo Stagg believed that a change was necessary. “The yellow ran, soiled easily, and had a regrettable symbolism which our opponents might not be above commenting upon,” said Stagg in his autobiography, Touchdown! Because maroon was not already in use by any major school in the Midwest, Stagg and his associate J.E. Raycroft brought a selection of maroon shades to the 1894 meeting of students and faculty. The meeting attendees made a choice from those ribbons, and the baseball team appeared in that color during its final games of the 1894 season. On July 21, 1894, the first mention of a U. of C. athletic team as “Maroons” appeared in the Chicago Tribune in an article about the baseball team. The Phoenix – which is featured as part of the University’s official coat of arms, or shield – serves as the school’s mascot. The University of Chicago Board of Trustees adopted the shield in 1910.

Athletics at UChicago Overview The Athletics program at the University of Chicago sponsors 19 intercollegiate sports, with more than 500 participants and 330 contests taking place each year. It is an NCAA Division III institution. UChicago’s sports teams are known as the Maroons and the school’s mascot is the Phoenix, the mythical bird featured as part of the University’s shield. In addition to the varsity sports program, the University of Chicago supports a wide range of extracurricular programs, including those that present significant opportunities for recreational and institutional participation. The University offers more than 75 intramural and sport clubs programs annually, and provides more than 20 free fitness classes each quarters, which are available to undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff members and members of the greater community. Athletics at the University of Chicago considers the breadth of recreational, fitness, and competitive sports options offered as an important component of the well being of our community members.

The UAA The University of Chicago is a charter member of the University Athletic Association, an NCAA Division III conference formed in 1986 as a bold statement of what college athletics can and should be — highly desirable and possible for a group of committed institutions to seek excellence in athletics while holding the studentathlete and the institution’s academic mission as the center of focus. The eight members of the UAA include Brandeis University, Carnegie Mellon University, Case Western Reserve University, Emory University, New York University, the University of Chicago, the University of Rochester, and Washington University in St. Louis. With its membership in the UAA, UChicago offers its student-athletes the opportunity to compete against athletes and teams from among the top research institutions in the country, as well as travel opportunities comparable to those offered by members of major Division I conferences. UChicago has played a major role in helping the UAA attain its goal of achieving the proper balance between athletics and academics. In “Reclaiming the Game: College Sports and Education Values,” author William Bowen – president of the Mellon Foundation which sponsored the research for the book – posed the question, “How has the UAA managed to mount what is, by all signs, a successful intercollegiate program without paying the academic price that is so evident in other similar college athletics conferences?” Bowen continued, “The active involvement of the University of Chicago, with its emphasis on core academic values, has without question been a help in achieving and maintaining this policy.”

Success On The Playing Field In 2014-15, UChicago finished 20th in the nation among 322 NCAA Division III institutions in the final standings for the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup, which recognizes the top overall athletic programs in the country. UChicago teams notched national top-15 finishes in men’s tennis (4th), women’s cross country (12th), women’s swimming and diving (13th) and men’s swimming and diving (14th). The Maroons also won UAA Championships in football, men’s soccer, women’s indoor track and field and women’s outdoor track and field. That same year, the Maroons also featured 36 All-Americans, 37 national qualifiers, 15 all-region selections, 6 UAA MVPs and 129 All-UAA performers.

Athletics & Academic Excellence The intercollegiate program at the University of Chicago directly supports the College’s commitment to excellence, and helps to produce scholar-athletes whose primary focus is on their academic achievements. The University of Chicago has a long history of outstanding student-athletes who have distinguished themselves in the classroom. During the University of Chicago’s early years as a member of the Big Ten Conference, the athletics program counted numerous distinguished scholar-athletes among its ranks, including 1910 Rhodes Scholar Edwin Hubble, a basketball player who later became a distinguished scientist for whom the Hubble Space Telescope is named. UChicago has furthered that tradition in recent years as its student-athletes have continued to compile an extraordinary record of academic and athletic accomplishment, highlighted by four Rhodes Scholars since 1996, and 295 UAA All-Academic Recognition Award recipients in 2014-15.

Award-Winning Facility In the fall of 2003, Chicago Athletics entered a new era with the opening of the $51 million Gerald Ratner Athletics Center. Designed by famed architect Cesar Pelli, the 150,000-square-foot facility includes a 1,658-seat competition gymnasium which is home to the Chicago basketball, volleyball, and wrestling teams. In addition to the competition gymnasium, the facility features the 50-meter Myers-McLoraine Pool, the Bernard J. DelGiorno Fitness Center, a dance room, classrooms, the Athletics Hall of Fame, locker rooms and offices. In short, the University of Chicago provides student-athletes with what might be the best balance in higher education: an extraordinary commitment to academic excellence recognized all over the world, a high-quality intercollegiate athletics program consistent with its academic mission, unique conference travel and competition, and outstanding athletics and recreational facilities.

The University of Chicago Ranked in 2015 as the nation’s fifthleading university by U.S. News & World Report, the University of Chicago is one of the world’s great intellectual communities and centers of learning. It has achieved particular distinction in faculty scholarship, the training of graduate students, and for its renowned undergraduate education that emphasizes critical thinking, intellectual depth, and cultural breadth. Founded in 1890 by John D. Rockefeller, the University opened its doors for classes on October 1, 1892, with an enrollment of 594 students. President William Rainey Harper presided over a faculty of 103, which included eight former college presidents. Today, the University features a total enrollment of approximately 14,467 students — including 5,369 undergraduates — and a 2,168-member faculty. The University is private, nondenominational, and coeducational, and it includes the undergraduate College, four graduate divisions, six graduate professional schools, the library, the Graham Center of General Studies, and the University of Chicago Press. The University also features several cultural resources, including the Oriental Institute Museum, Court Theatre, Renaissance Society, and the Smart Museum of Art. Extending along both sides of the Midway Plaisance, which was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and used for the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, the University occupies a 190-acre campus. The English collegiate Gothic style set the general tone for the design and development of the campus. Around a series of tree-shaded quadrangles, imposing buildings of gray limestone with red-tile roofs, and deep-set rectangular windows show off elaborate ornamentation, gargoyles and chimeras, and decorated towers. These quadrangles are dominated by Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, with its 207-foot tower, and by the Joseph Regenstein Library, one of the largest academic libraries in the United States. Many campus structures have been designated national historic landmarks, including Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House and the site of the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear reaction marked by the Henry Moore sculpture Nuclear Energy. Chicago has had a major impact on American higher education — inventing the four-quarter system, developing extension courses and programs in the liberal arts for adults, establishing a coherent program of general education for undergraduates, and initiating a full-time medical school teaching faculty. Chicago also pioneered orientation week and gives the nation’s oldest teaching awards. Since the University’s founding, more than 80 recipients of the Nobel Prize have been students, researchers, or faculty. The University is located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, one of the world’s most exciting and vibrant cities. About 65 percent of the University’s faculty and their families and nearly all of its students live in the Hyde Park neighborhood. One of Chicago’s biggest tourist attractions, the Museum of Science and Industry, is located here, as well as the DuSable Museum of African-American History and the Weiss Museum of Judaica. Just 15 minutes north of Hyde Park is the Chicago Loop, where students and faculty regularly attend an array of theater, movies, art exhibits, museums, and restaurants. Some of Chicago’s main cultural attractions are the Art Institute, the Lyric Opera, the Chicago Symphony, the Goodman Theatre, and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Scores of other professional and community theater, dance, and visual arts organizations are active in the city. Architecturally, Chicago is the home of many major developments in 20th-century architecture and urban design. One of the nation’s greatest sports cities, Chicago is the home of two Major League Baseball teams – the White Sox and the Cubs – as well as the National Basketball Association Bulls, the National Football League Bears, the National Hockey League Blackhawks, the Major League Soccer Fire, and the Women’s National Basketball Association Sky.

UAA & NCAA Division III The UAA

NCAA Division III

In 1987, Chicago became a charter member of a new and unique NCAA Division III conference, the University Athletic Association. Comprised of some of the nation’s leading research institutions, UAA members include Brandeis University, Carnegie Mellon University, Case Western Reserve University, Emory University, New York University, the University of Rochester, and Washington University in St. Louis. Since its founding, the UAA has continued to serve as a bold statement of the vision of its founders — that the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence are complementary goals and can be achieved without the compromise of one by the other. Implicit in this vision are three assumptions: • The academic enterprise is the primary element. Student-athletes are just that — students first and athletes second. • Athletic excellence is not to be confused with a win-at-all-costs attitude. It properly relates to the caliber of experience offered to students who participate in intercollegiate athletics. • Athletics should not only complement the academic experience, but should also reflect the quality of the academic environment within which they exist. Division III is an approach to athletics — not a synonym for third-rate. Since joining the UAA, Chicago teams have captured 55 conference championships, made 72 NCAA tournament appearances, and posted 11 national top-four finishes. In addition, the Maroons have claimed 16 NCAA individual titles and three have been selected as the national player of the year.

The University of Chicago has competed at the NCAA Division III level since it was established in 1973. The largest of the three NCAA Divisions, Division III counted as members 450 institutions (19 percent public, 81 percent private) in 2014-15.
