Program Overview
Basketball was the first women’s varsity sport at Wooster, starting play in 1965, and has built a reputation as a competitive team within the region. A member of the North Coast Athletic Conference, the Scots are typically battling for a spot among the top-half of the parity-filled league, which makes for many exciting, closely-played games.
Several outstanding individual players have come through the program from Alpha Alexander, a 1976 graduate who was named one of NCAA’s “100 Most Influential Student-Athletes,” and fellow “W” Association Hall-of-Famers Barb Davis (1982-86), Lisa Diment Panepento (1983-87), and Christy Evans (1988-92), who played key roles in leading the Scots to their two NCAC championships in 1985 and 1990, to more recent stars, such as Katie Montague (1995-99), Nara DeJesus (1999-03), Carly Loehrke (2003-07), and Kym Wenz (2006-10).
Wooster plays and practices at spacious Timken Gymnasium, a 3,400-seat facility. The Scots’ schedule features the annual Nan Nichols Classic, a tournament to honor the program’s long-time coach (1965-86) and a pioneer for women’s athletics, and it also typically features an exciting road trip, including visits to Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C., in recent seasons, all in preparation for the NCAC.
