Entertaining residents at the Garden Square Assisted Living center!

Hello Everyone,
Your Bears are done with all their school work and now are just working hard in practices before leaving for Christmas break. One of their recent community service activities was helping residents at the Garden Square Assistant living center to decorate their doors and sing Christmas carols. Everyone had a good time, residents were happy about their nicely decorate doors and they definitely had a good time singing and and even dancing with the Bears. Girls did a nice job entertaining the residents and making their day a little more special.

Off campus living!

Hi Everyone,

Here is the next video - off campus living. After their freshmen year staying in the dorms players can choose where to live. Therefore, we wanted to show an example how it looks when players find their own place. Kaisha, Courtney and Cassie wanted to show us their house.
By the way, with this video we have officially completed the "Life as a Bear" story. But no worries, we will still continue to inform and entertain you with new videos and stories from the Bears through out the season! Keep on checking back in with us and continue to support our program!

Lady Bears Performing!

Here is the video of the girls ending our Saturday's team even with an impromptu musical performance. The girls are obviously multi-talented! :)

Team Retreat!!!

This past Saturday Lady Bears had a fun team-building event. Everyone on the team (including coaches) was divided into four groups that required dressing up as Pretty Princesses, “Circus Freaks”, Gangsters or the Nerds…. Needless to say - it was a lot of fun as everyone worked hard on their outfits. Besides the crazy dressing up, the game “Minute to Win It” was pretty entertaining as well. The girls came up with some challenging tasks such as rug sliding race, egg rolling with your nose, stacking cup cakes on the forehead and many others. We closed retreat with the trivia game about the players and the coaches. The girls ended the event with an impromptu musical performance.

Pictures from the Golf Tournament!

Golf Tournament!

Hello Bear Fans!

On August 28^th, we had our 3^rd Annual Golf Tournament. Thirteen teams (four players per team) participated in the event. This was a great opportunity to meet and greet the 2010-2011 Lady Bears and the new additions to the coaching staff. Once the golfing was done, boosters and fans had some time to talk to the players while enjoying the lunch. Coach White closed the event by giving out gifts to the winning teams and individual players for their accomplishments.

Thank you all who participated!

GO BEARS!

Lady Bears Earn Top 25 Academic Honor Roll

When they're not practicing or playing in a game, it's obvious that the Northern Colorado women's basketball team is hitting the books as the Bears were named to Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) 2009-2010 Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll.

The Bears had a combined GPA of 3.351, which ranked 18th among Division I institutions and second out of three teams in the Big Sky Conference behind NAU (#13, 3.425 GPA) and ahead of Eastern Washington (#22, 3.328 GPA).

"Our players work very hard in the classroom," said Head Coach Jaime White. "This is a great honor and represents the high achieving student-athletes that play women's basketball at Northern Colorado."

This award is given at NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA and NJCAA which awards the top academic teams as nominated by their coaches.

The Lady Bears also won the CHAMPS/Life Skills Team challenge this year. The competition is between the 19 athletic teams at UNC and combines community outreach, academic achievement, personal/team enhancement, Bear Pride and Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) participation and communication.
