MEN’S BASKETBALL: Coyotes look to end losing streak
with win on Senior Night against Northwest Christian
COMING UP: vs. Northwest Christian, Friday,
7:30 p.m.
LAST WEEK: at
CHECK PRESENTATION FROM PAUL’S
MARKET: At halftime
of Friday’s game against Northwest Christian, C of I alumnus Stan Zatica will present a check to current C of I student, Ben Nass in the amount of $8,500 for winning the Paul’s Market
Shoot-For-Tuition contest last month. On
Jan. 25, Nass converted a lay-up, free throw,
three-pointer, and half court shot in 25 seconds, earning free Spring Tuition
from Paul’s Market.
HALL OF FAMER IN TOWN: Also at halftime Friday night, the
Yotes will honor their all-time leading scorer in school history, as Taft Jackson will be in attendance for
the Northwest Christian game. Jackson
was a three-time All-Northwest Conference selection in the 1960s, scoring over
900 points in a season, tallying 2,336 points in his C of I career.
RADIO/INTERNET: All 30 regular-season games and all
playoff games will be broadcast live in the
A MAINSTAY IN THE PLAYOFFS: With the win on Feb. 9 against
Concordia, the Yotes secured their 11th-striaght postseason berth in the
Cascade Conference Tournament and their 26th playoff appearance in the last 27
years. Outside of the 1996-97 season, the Coyotes have played in the postseason every year
in the Marty Holly-Mark Owen era. In the CCC Tourney, the Yotes have posted a
12-4 record under Owen, including tourney titles in 2001, 2003, and 2004.
YOTES POSTSEASON HISTORY: The Yotes have a rich history of
playoff success in the last quarter century, winning six NAIA District titles
(1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991) and three CCC titles (1993, 1996,
2004). In program history, The C of I
has appeared in the NAIA Tournament on 17 occasions, including last season, the
most trips to the Big Dance than any other CCC school – including the 1996 NAIA
Division II national championship.
LOOKING AT THE POSSIBLE SEEDING: The Coyotes will most likely end up
as the No. 7 team in the CCC Tournament, as The C of I loses all tiebreakers
with the two teams directly ahead of them in the standings – Concordia and
Northwest. The Yotes can move into the No. 6 spot (and a
date with either Warner Pacific or
CHAMP IS TOPS IN THE NATION: With ten combined steals in the
Coyotes last three games, Bryan Champ (Boise, Idaho / Borah HS) remains in the
No. 1 spot among all NAIA Division II players in steals per game (3.3) and
overall steals (96) for the fourth-straight week. The junior also climbed to No. 3 on the
all-time steals list with 179, while his 96 steals this season ranks No. 3 on
the season record list. Former
assistant, Joe Green, holds the top two spots on the list (116 and 107). Champ has recorded a steal in 26-straight
games this season, while recording three or more steals in 12 of his last 14
games.
OWEN LOOKS TO ADD TO HIS POINT TOTAL
ON SENIOR NIGHT:
With three double figure games, including his fourth 30-or-more point scoring
night of the season, Josh Owen (Caldwell, Idaho / Vallivue
HS) continued to up his career points total, moving the mark to 1,532. The senior has some work to do to move higher
on the ladder, sitting 105 points behind No. 3 Kade
Wilson (1,637 points). Taft Jackson
(2,336 points) and R.C. Owens (2,155 points) hold down the top two spots on the
list. Owen has now hit 272 three’s in
his career – 27 behind Kade Wilson’s school record. With five more assists this season, Owen
could become the first C of I player to record 1,500 points, 300 assists, and
150 steals in a season.
MAGGARD HAS CAREER GAME: As his final home game approaches on
Friday night, J.R. Maggard

ABOUT NORTHWEST CHRISTIAN: The Coyotes round out
the regular season tonight, hosting Northwest
Christian. The Beacons (10-18, 7-11
CCC) are the newest member of the Cascade Conference, after years as members of
the United States Collegiate Athletics Association. NCC has struggled of late, losing three of
their last four and four of their last six, but can clinch the No. 8 spot in
the CCC Tournament with a win. They are
led by All-CCC candidate Josh Jarrett (18.4 ppg, 8.4 rpg), along with guards Jordan Whittenburg (10.7 ppg) and Peter
Nelson (10.0 ppg, 2.6 rpg).
The Yotes defeated the Beacons, 73-63, in January, thanks to 33 points from
Josh Owen. It is the sixth meeting
between the teams, with The C of I holding a 5-0
all-time series edge.
CAREER RECORD BOOK: The Coyote career record book
continues to shuffle each week, as a pair of Yotes continue
their assault on history. Josh Owen
ranks in the Top-10 in eleven categories – including No. 2 in career
three-pointers made (272) and attempted (687), along with field goal attempts
(1,185). He is fourth in points scored (1,532), fifth in field goals made (500),
sixth in steals (156), is seventh in assists (295), games played (116), and
free throw percentage (.844), is No. 8 in free throws made (270), and is ninth in
free throw attempts (320). Also on the
list is junior Bryan Champ, who is
No. 4 in career steals (179). Both Owen
and Champ have cracked the single-season list as well – Owen eighth with 87
three-pointers made and tenth with 217 three-point attempts, while Champ is
third in single-season steals with 96.

LADY YOTES CLINCH HOME PLAYOFF
BERTH: With a win
on Feb. 9 against Concordia, the Lady Yotes became one of three teams to clinch
a home playoff game in the eight-team Cascade Conference Tournament, beginning
next Tuesday. The C of I has now
advanced to the postseason in 12 of the 13 seasons since women’s basketball was
reinstated at the College in 1995. The
Coyotes have advanced to three NAIA Division II national tournaments (1998 –
first round, 2000 – quarterfinals, 2001 – championship game), but have never
won a CCC Tournament title (advanced to the finals in 2000, 2002, and
2005). The Lady Yotes have hosted a
postseason game three of the last four seasons and has a 5-1 all-time record at
home during the payoffs.
WHO WILL THE YOTES PLAY: The Lady Yotes are locked into
either the No. 3 or No. 4 spot in the CCC Tournament and can clinch the No. 3
spot with a win Friday against Northwest Christian, or a loss by Oregon Tech to
either Corban or Concordia – as The C of I holds all tiebreakers with both OIT
and Concordia. If the Coyotes are in the
No. 4 seed, they will play Concordia on Tuesday night, while if they are the
No. 3 seed, they will face the No. 6 seed – either Northwest

PLAYOFF GAME INFORMATION: Tickets for Tuesday’s CCC Tournament
game will not go on sale prior to the day of the game. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. on game day,
with admission prices set at $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for students (5-to-17)
– as all tickets will be general admission.
No passes will be issued, except for those with NAIA Championship
passes.
LAST HURRAH FOR SENIORS: Friday’s game will mark the final
home regular-season game for four Coyote players. Two of the student-athletes – Denise Hill (
80 POINTS A NIGHT EQUALS WINS: When scoring at least 80 points in a
game this season, the Lady Yotes have a perfect record, going 8-0 when hitting
the magic number. However, the club is 7-5 when scoring 70-79 points, and have a 1-5 record
when failing to reach the 70 point plateau.
VANDER ESCH LEADS LOOP IN STEALS AND
BLOCKS: Forward Christon Vander Esch (Riggins, Idaho / Treasure Valley CC)
continues to lead the Cascade Conference in steals per game (3.0) and blocked
shots per game (1.9), with just one week remaining in the regular season. The junior also leads the Lady Yotes 67
assists and 179 rebounds this season, while averaging nearly 12 points per
game.
OWEN HAS STREAK ENDED: Coyote win Whitney Owen (Caldwell, Idaho
/ Vallivue HS) had scored at least three points
in each of the first 25 games this season, but saw the streak ended with just
two points in 16 minutes against Eastern Oregon. The sophomore also had a streak of four-or-more
rebound games ended at 17 against the Mountaineers. Owen has recorded six-or-more rebounds in 11
of her last 17 outings – upping her season average to five rebounds a
game. She set new career highs for both
scoring and rebounding against Corban on Feb. 8, tallying 19 points and ten
boards.
NORTHWEST CHRISTIAN MAKES CALDWELL
DEBUT: The Lady Yotes look to end a three-game losing
streak tonight, as Northwest Christian
makes their first-ever appearance in Caldwell.
The Beacons (14-14, 8-10) have struggled of late, as head coach Charlie
Olds resigned three weeks ago, with the team losing four of their last five
games, all by double-digits. NCC had to
deal with CCC MVP candidate Emily Gray (19.2 ppg, 9.2
rpg) going down with a
season-ending knee injury in December, but have gotten great production from
her twin-sister Elise Gray (11.3 ppg, 3.8 rpg), along with guards Jacquie Lipp
(9.3 ppg, 3.2 rpg) and Lori
Renner (8.8 ppg, 3.7 rpg). The Yotes won the first meeting of the
season, 96-73, in
CAREER RECORD BOOK: Three players have found their way
in The C of I career record book during the 2007-08 season. Whitney Clark is amongst the leaders in ten
different categories – No. 3 in three-pointers made (142), free throws made
(300) and three-pointers attempted (443), No. 4 in points scored (1,195), field
goal attempts (973), and free throw attempts (391), No. 5 in field goals made
(374), No. 6 in
steals (140) and games started (65), and No. 10 in assists (184). Denise Hill is No. 8 in free throws made
(158), No. 10 in free throw attempts (231), while ranking No. 5 in field goal
percentage (.484). Rounding out the
group is Christon Vander Esch who is No. 2 in blocked shots (81) and
No. 5 in steals (141). Vander Esch also ranks No. 3 on the single-season steals list (48)
and No. 4 on the single-season blocks list (49), while

SECOND
HALF SURGE LIFTS EVERGREEN PAST LADY YOTES: 15-1 second half run gave Evergreen
State the lead for good, as the Geoducks upset The C
of I, 79-71, Friday night in Olympia, Wash.
Eagle native Molly Clark canned a long three in transition to give the Geoducks a 55-48 lead with 13:16 remaining, then hung on down the stretch. The Lady Yotes cut the
margin to three on four different occasions, but could not get closer, as a
Kristi Auckland trey with 2:06 left provided the dagger. The C of I jumped out to a
18-6 lead, but watched as the hosts clawed back within 37-36 at the
break. Six straight Whitney Clark points early in the second half gave
the Yotes a 47-40 lead, but the Geoducks run was too much. Joy
White led Evergreen with 19 points, including 11-of-12 shooting from the line,
with
C
OF I STUNNED AT NORTHWEST: Rachel Travis hit her sixth three-pointer of the second half
with 25 seconds remaining, capping a 14-0 run to close the game, as Northwest
University upset The C of I, 77-74, Saturday night in Kirkland, Wash. The Lady Yotes seemingly had the game in
hand, leading 63-43 with 10:45 left, but were outscored 34-11 the rest of the
way. An 18-4 Eagle run cut the margin to 67-61 with six minutes left, but
the Yotes looked to have stemmed the tide with a Kayla Brewer jumper with four
minutes left at 74-63. Unfortunately, Northwest
had one more rally, as Travis canned the triple from the right wing to give the
Eagles the lead for good. The loss for
the Yotes spoiled a double-double from Magen Dufurrena, who had a career-high 15 points and 12 rebounds,
while Whitney Clark added 14 points and Brewer 13. Travis led Northwest, who came into the night
in last place in the league standings, with 27 points, including seven three
pointers.

PLAYING ON SLOWPITCH FENCES: Last season, the Lady Yotes set a
school record with 31 home runs on the season and showed tons of power over the
weekend at the Benham Classic.
The problem was – the Yotes were playing on a field built for men’s
league softball, as fences were at 300 feet around the diamond, instead of the
standard 200 feet for women’s fastpitch
softball. According to head coach Al Mendiola, The C of I hit ten balls
that would have been home runs on a normal field – but had just two inside the
park longballs to show for it. The team did have three triples on the
weekend – which is nearly half the total the Yotes recorded last season in 49
games.

was also the unanimous pick by the Cascade Conference coaches to win the league
title in 2008.
RECAP OF BENHAM CLASSIC: Corban 2, C of I 1 – The Yotes managed just three hits in
the loss to their CCC rivals. Stephanie Stover (Caldwell, Idaho / U. of Nevada) had a first inning RBI single,
plating Nicole Antonoplos
(Boise, Idaho / Idaho State U.),
who led off the game with a double.
However, it was the only run The C of I would score, as the Lady Yotes
wasted a four-hit, nine strikeout performance by Katie ZIllner. Holy
Names 4, C of I 3 – A two-out, two-run single by Elise Foster in the fifth
inning gave the Hawks the upset win over the Yotes. The C of I got an RBI triple from Katy Luetke (Yreka, Calif. / Mendocino CC) and an
RBI single from Kalie Kurdy (Boise, Idaho / Bishop Kelly HS) in the
second to take a 2-1 lead, but could not hold on. Two of the four runs allowed by the Yotes
were unearned. C of I 6, Dominican 0 – Chelsey Nokleby and Donnae Carrell combined on a five-hit shutout as the Lady Yotes
picked up their first win of 2008. Stacy
Smith became the sixth Lady Yote to record four hits in a game, as she went
4-for-4 with three RBI, while both Antonoplos and
Stover each had two hits. C of I 6, Northwest Christian 0 – Katie Zillner struck out 16 batters and took a no-hitter into the
sixth inning in the victory over the Beacons.
Kurdy had an inside the park home run leading
off the third inning, while Stacy Smith and Haley Butcher had back-to-back RBI
doubles in the fifth inning. C of I 7, George Fox 1 – Butcher had a
two-run inside the park home run, with Dani Villyard (Kent,
