Jennie Baranczyk, who has led the Drake University women’s basketball program to historic success the past nine years, has been named the head coach at the University of Oklahoma.

As the Suzie Glazer Burt Drake Women’s Basketball Head Coach, Baranczyk compiled a record of 190-96 and led the Bulldogs to an unprecedented three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances. The Bulldogs were poised for a fourth-straight NCAA berth until the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the 2020 postseason. The Bulldogs compiled a program-record six-straight 20-win seasons during her tenure.

Under her leadership, the Bulldogs won four regular-season Missouri Valley Conference titles and two MVC Tournament titles. In MVC games, her teams compiled a 123-39 record (.759).

“The impact Jennie Baranczyk has made on our Drake women’s basketball program, our university and our community as the Suzie Glazer Burt Head Women’s Basketball Coach over the past nine years cannot be overstated,” said Drake director of athletics Brian Hardin. “She has led our women’s basketball program with passion and integrity and developed a culture that will continue the standard of excellence her teams established. We are grateful to Jennie, Scott, and their family and we wish them the very best in their next journey.”

Baranczyk, who was hired in April 2012, was named MVC Coach of the Year twice after leading the Bulldogs to perfect 18-0 conference records in 2016-17 and 2017-18 to become the first MVC program to accomplish the feat. She coached her student-athletes to a total of five MVC Jackie Stiles Players of the Year awards and re-energizing a fanbase that regularly ranked among the top 50 nationally.

Baranczyk’s exciting style of basketball led to the Bulldogs’ annually being one of the national leaders in scoring and assists.

Her program’s selfless culture was even more evident off the court as the program annually completed more than 1,000 hours of community service and became a source of pride for the greater Des Moines community.

“We wish Jennie nothing but the best in her future and are confident that she will be as outstanding a coach for the University of Oklahoma as she was for Drake,” said Drake University President Marty Martin. “Drake University, and I personally, are tremendously grateful to Jennie for her leadership of our women’s basketball program, her mentoring of our student-athletes, and her engagement with the broader Drake and Des Moines communities. She has done a wonderful job leading our program, and she leaves an incredibly strong program for the next coach of our women’s basketball team to take us to that next level.”

In the classroom, Baranczyk’s team has ranked in the top-10 nationally in team GPA for six-straight seasons and the Bulldogs have earned a total of five CoSIDA Academic All-America honors to rank among the national leaders.

Drake will begin an immediate national search for the next Suzie Glazer Burt Women’s Basketball Head Coach. Allison Pohlman will serve as the Bulldogs’ interim head coach effective immediately.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State volleyball had a pair of players honored in the conference’s postseason awards program, announced on Thursday. Junior right side Eleanor Holthaus was named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while senior middle blocker Candelaria Herrera was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team.

Holthaus was named to the All-Big 12 First Team for a second-straight season, becoming the 10th Cyclone to be named to the First Team twice in their careers. Herrera earned her second All-Big 12 honor as a Cyclone after being a First Team honoree in 2019, and is the 14th Cyclone to make at least two All-Big 12 Teams (First Team, Second Team or Honorable Mention) during her career.

Holthaus was the Cyclones’ outstanding performer throughout the season, leading the ISU attack with 251 kills at 3.22 per set, which she got at .261 hitting. She was in double figures 15 times, including matching her career-high off 22 twice at TCU on Nov. 21 and vs. Wayne State on March 26. She hit over .300 in a match nine times during the season. In the back row, she recorded 157 digs at 2.01 per set. Holthaus notched eight double-doubles on the season.

Despite missing the spring potion of the season while back in Argentina training with the National Team, Herrera put up big numbers in her 14 matches with the Cyclones. She was fourth on the team with her 2.36 kills per set, which she got at a team-best .271 hitting percentage. Herrera had six matches in double figures, including a career-best 20 kills vs. Kansas on Nov. 13. The Argentine was also ISU’s leader at the net, finishing with 1.11 blocks per set on the season, a figure that was good for sixth in the conference on the season.

Herrera spent the spring in Argentina training with the Argentina Women’s Volleyball National Team in an effort to make the team for the 2020 Olympic Games this summer in Tokyo, Japan. Herrera will take advantage of the waiver year offered by the NCAA and will return to the Cyclones in Fall 2021.
