Rhodes Arena has been home to some exciting women’s basketball action over the last several years with the likes of Syracuse, Arizona State, Alabama, Houston, Marist and Florida State visiting the Zips’ home court. Akron will play six non-conference games at home this season before embarking on an eight-game Mid-American Conference home schedule. Teams scheduled to play at Rhodes Arena include Michigan from the Big Ten conference (Nov. 17), NCAA Tournament teams Robert Morris (Dec. 17) and Cleveland State (Dec. 3), 2007 Mid-American Conference champion Bowling Green (Feb. 21) and long-time rival Kent State (Jan. 21). Rhodes Arena: Among the Finest Facilities in the Mid-American Conference In the summer of 2002 the James A. Rhodes Arena received a facelift, with the major upgrade being a new state-of-the-art floor. The cost of the project was funded by private donations. The new floor replaced a surface that was installed when the facility was built in 1983. In recent years, a number of stress-related injuries had been attributed to the hardness of the original floor. In addition to the new floor, a state-of-the-art video display and scoreboard system was installed. The centerpiece of the project was called Zips Vision and features (4) four Opto Tech 7.5' x 10' LED displays which will showcase replays of the action on the floor plus other programming before, during and after the game. Along with the video displays, new scoreboards were placed in Rhodes Arena, both In a continuing effort to keep the University of Akron facilities at the forefront over the court and in both the of the Mid-American Conference, the women’s basketball locker rooms were north and south end zones. completely refurbished this summer.

JODI KEST HEAD COACH Third Season Slippery Rock, 1984

odi Kest begins her third season as the head coach of the University of Akron women’s basketball program with history on Jher side. Throughout her career, not only has Kest developed a proven track record of turning programs around, her third year has been the signature season at all three of her previous stops. In fact, Kest has produced winning seasons in each of her third seasons at Wilkes University (16-10), Gannon University (17-10) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (23-7). With a young core of committed players at her fingertips, there is reason to believe that Kest’s trend is within reach at Akron. In two seasons at UA, Kest’s teams have produced two All-MAC performers and three All-MAC Freshman team standouts. Kest enjoyed an impressive inaugural campaign in 2006-07 that saw the Zips double their win total from the previous year, experience their longest winning streak since 1996 and place two players on All- THE KEST FAMILY (from left, counter-clockwise): Allie (niece), Kest, Zachary Mid-American Conference postseason teams.

Although UA struggled early on in league play, the young team showed resolve late by winning three of its final Despite that, local product Kara Murphy blossomed under Kest’s eight contests – including a tough, overtime defeat on the road in the direction in recording one of the most prolific individual seasons in regular-season finale. school history.

But injuries and inexperience and seventh in three-point field goals (6.09/game). led to challenges down the stretch. Akron posted league victories over Central Michigan (70-69) and Northern Illinois (78-71) at Rhodes Arena in back-to-back contests. Moreover, academics continued to be a strong point for Akron under Kest as the team posted a cumulative GPA of 3.19 in 2007-08 after logging a 3.09 mark in 2006-07. Furthermore, former standout Jessie Crooks, a third-team all-league selection in 2005-06, was one of 12 players to be named to the Academic All-MAC squad in 2006-07. Prior to coming to Akron, Kest guided the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi program to a 73-40 (.646) record (16-12 in 2005-06) in four years, tal- lying a winning mark in each season and being named Independent Coach of the Year three times (2003, 2004, 2005). Also, under Kest’s tutelage, guard Terra Andrews was named Division I Independent Player of the year in three consecutive seasons from 2003-06. With the Islanders, Kest posted the 200th win of her career and left the school with the most wins in program history. The highlight of her tenure came during the 2004-05 campaign when the Islanders won a school-record 23 games (23-7), and advanced to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. The team received votes in the top 25 poll that season as well. From 2004-2006, TAMU-CC defeated such teams as Indiana, West Virginia, Nevada, Fresno State and Kent State. Boasting 16 years of collegiate head coaching experience, Kest served as coach at Gannon University in Erie, Pa., for six seasons (1996-97 through 2001-02) prior to her stop in Corpus Christi. During that time, she developed a two-time Division II All-American, 10 all-conference players, a pair of freshmen of the year and five all- defensive first team honorees. 2008-09 UNIVERSITY OF AKRON WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE BASKETBALL WOMEN’S 2008-09 UNIVERSITY OF AKRON

2008-09 AKRON BASKETBALL | SEASON OUTLOOK ith seven newcomers and just four returners, one may be tempted to label the 2008-09 University of Akron women’s Wbasketball campaign as a rebuilding year. And while it is true the team is young – with just two returning upper classmen – that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Zips are as inexperienced as it may appear. Of the seven newcomers, guard Ayla Guzzardo and forward Jolene Tamboue bring two years of starting experience from the junior college ranks and guard Amber Witt, who played as a freshman at Canisius College, will be ready to go after sitting out last winter as a transfer. Additionally, Victoria Arndt, a highly-touted recruit from the University of Illinois who joined the Zips last December, has had time to take ownership of the program and, as a team co-captain, is expected to be a leader on the young squad. On top of that, Kara Murphy, an all-conference honoree who started every game last winter, and guard Amanda Sedlack, who made 20 starts as a first-year player, return with more experience than your typical sophomores. “We’re young – there’s no doubt about it,” said third-year head coach Jodi Kest. “But this is a group who enjoys being together, they care about each other and bring a lot of positive energy to the gym every day.” Moreover, with another quality recruiting class, which was ranked 59th in the nation by the College Girls Basketball Report last June, the ing in at shooting guard. Zips may have the most depth of any team that Kest has led at UA. “Amanda started for us last year and I thought she did a good job “One of our biggest strengths this season will be our depth and I given the situation she was thrown into,” Kest said. “I’d like her to be expect all 11 players to contribute,” Kest said. more aggressive offensively this year.

MACK RHOADES Director of Athletics Third Year Arizona, 1993

ack Rhoades is in his third year as director of athletics at The Uni- Mversity of Akron. Sweeping changes and unprecedented success within an athletics department recognized three times for its diversity strategy has been Rhoades’ signature on the program to date. Since Rhoades began his duties at Akron in late January 2006, the num- bers alone speak for themselves: 478 total Dean’s List honors, a combined 318 student-athletes posted a 3.0 GPA for the 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic years, 125 all-conference honors, 49 student-athletes named Academic All-MAC, 16 team championships won, 10 Mid-American Con- ference Players of the Year and nine All-Americans to name a few. All the on-fi eld success has been matched off the fi eld as well. In 2006, Akron’s federal graduation rate was 60 percent, exceeding the general student body’s by 25 percent. In 2007, UA’s student-athlete federal graduation rate jumped to 78 percent and its NCAA Graduation Success Rate jumped six points to 73 percent. Such improvements can be attributed to a number of policies the athletics department has instituted under Rhoades’ leadership. Notably, Akron implemented an academic review process to ensure academic success of potential student-athletes, a class attendance policy and a student-athlete Code of Conduct. Under Rhoades’ supervision, the men’s basketball team registered 51 All of the policies were enacted to compliment the department’s new victories during the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons – the 13th-best win total mission statement and core values that, in short, place an emphasis on in the nation over that span. student-athletes getting the best possible experience while earning a de- The men’s golf program fi nished in the top three at the Western Athletic gree from The University of Akron.
