When the UW-Parkside women’s basketball team’s season started, nobody could've expected that the Rangers would achieve the success they did. 2009-2010 was a year that many school records were broken.

The squad posted a school-record 23 wins, and also earned a fourth seed in the NCAA Division II tournament. The head coach of the women’s basketball team is Jenny Kenesie, who is currently only nine wins away from becoming the all-time winningest coach in UW-Parkside history.

It was a thrilling and physical game at DeSimone Gymnasium Sunday afternoon, and it continued the women’s basketball team’s historic run this season. The Parkside Rangers recorded their first ever Great Lakes Valley Conference tournament win with a 50-36 victory over the visiting Northern Kentucky Norse.

The Rangers set school history today with their big 90-44 victory over the University of Illinois-Springfield. The Rangers twenty-first win of the season is a school record, and netted them the North Division crown in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.

“I’m really proud of them,” said Head Coach Jenny Kenesie after the game. “I thought we came out really strong. We played with a lot of intensity on the defensive end very early. Our starters got us out to a great start.”

It was a wire to wire win for the Rangers Thursday night at DeSimone Gymnasium. The Rangers defeated the visiting Saint Joseph’s College Pumas by the final score of 67-53. The Parkside victory equaled a university record of twenty wins in a season, set by the 2004-05 team which picked up an NCAA tournament bid.

“It was an important game for us,” said Head Coach Jenny Kenesie. “We needed to come out and get a victory. Every time St. Joseph’s was trying to get a run going we didn’t allow that to happen, and that was important.”

Boosted by Brittany Hogen's 20 points and 14 rebounds, Parkside rose to the occasion in the most pivotal game of the season by edging out Lewis, 72-69.

It was a major showdown this past Saturday afternoon on Alumni Day at DeSimone Gymnasium, as the UW-Parkside Rangers faced the second ranked team in Division II, the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds. The Greyhounds entered with an undefeated 20-0 record, as well as a spotless 11-0 record in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. However, the Women’s Basketball team had a spotless record of their own, as they entered undefeated at home. The Rangers had posted sixteen straight home wins, which dated all the back to last year. The game was sadly never in doubt for Indianapolis, as they cruised on to a 72-59 win over the Rangers.

27 points from senior guard Amanda Gibson fueled a second half surge that propelled Parkside past Southern Indiana 61-51.
