In just %ve seasons as the head coach of the IUPUI women’s basketball program, Austin Parkinson has taken the Jags from a three-win team a year prior to his arrival to a team that has posted back-to-back 20-win seasons, three consecutive postseason appearances, and the program’s %rst postseason victory in 2013-14.

Since his arrival during the 2010-11 season, Parkinson has directed IUPUI to an increase in wins through each of his %rst four seasons. While his %fth season, last year’s 2015-16 campaign, only earned a mark of 15-16, Parkinson’s squad reached Summit League postseason play and won their %rst game before being eliminated.

Under Parkinson’s guidance, Goss blossomed into a 17.4 ppg scorer in Summit League-only action during her senior season, while Markovic became a force down the stretch posting %ve of her team-high seven double-doubles during the past seven games.

The success in 2013-14 was built in 2012-13 when Parkinson guided IUPUI to its %rst 20-win campaign since joining the Division-I ranks during the 1998-99 season. Included in the 20 wins, were 12 Summit League victories - the most conference wins since joining the league.
