High School, where she led the Warriors to a five-year record of 115-40, including conference titles in 1985, 1986 and 1987 and state tournament appearances in 1986 and 1987.

One of four schools to win two NCAA Division III women’s basketball championships, UW-Stevens Point boasts an outstanding tradition with national titles in 1986-87 and in 2001-02.

The success has been at its peak in recent seasons where the Pointers have posted nine straight 20-win campaigns while making trips to the final four two of the past eight seasons.

Over the last nine seasons, the Pointers have posted a 215-49 overall record. They have been incredibly tough against nonconference competition with a 97-11 record over their last 108 games with two of the losses coming in the 2003-04 final four when the Pointers placed fourth in the country after winning the WIAC regular season and tournament titles.

In fact, UW-Stevens Point’s 19-6 all-time NCAA tournament record is the best of any school that has played at least 10 postseason games.

In 1987, the Pointers won the WWIAC title and finished 27-2 overall under coach Linda Wunder en route to their first national title. They beat Concordia-Moorhead (Minn.) 81-74 in the championship game in Scranton, Pa. and also played three home games before reaching the final four. Donna Pivonka and Karla Miller were both named to the all-tournament team.

The Pointers finished runner-up in the WIAC regular season and postseason tournament in 2002, but still earned an at-large bid to the national tournament and took full advantage.

THE POINTERS celebrate a 66-60 NCAA tournament win at Washington University in 2002 that snapped the then four-time defending national champion’s 70-game home win streak.

They defeated St. Lawrence (N.Y.) 67-65 in the finals in Terre Haute, Ind. to finish the season 30-3. Along the way, the Pointers ousted four-time defending champion Washington (Mo.), snapping the Bears’ 70-game home court winning streak. UW-Stevens Point also played three home games among the six postseason contests and packed Berg Gym with nearly 1,800 fans for the sectional tournament. Carry Boehning was the tournament MVP and Tara Schmitt also earned all-tournament accolades.

In 2004-05, the Pointers featured the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Division III National Player of the Year in Amanda Nechuta, who led the WIAC in scoring three straight seasons and earned the opportunity to play in the WBCA all-star game against the nation’s top Division I players at the 2005 32 Women’s Final Four.
