Jennifer Nance '01 was one of the key ingredients to BW's first-ever "Elite Eight" trip to the NCAA Division III National Tournament in 1999-2000. That season, the Yellow Jackets set the school single-season record for wins with 28 and had a 28-2 overall record.

During her four years in the Brown & Gold, BW had an amazing 104-13 record with an .889 winning percentage and an even more impressive 65-5 OAC mark for a .929 winning percentage. Nance was a key ingredient on three teams that won OAC Tournament titles and four squads that advanced to the Division III national tournament. She was a two-time first-team All-OAC player who earned WBCA-Kodak Division III All-American accolades as a senior.

Nance set a school single-season scoring record with 495 points and owns school marks for the most free throws attempted (179) and made (146). She owned an OAC record by making 10-of-10 foul shots in a game.

Nance is currently the head women's basketball coach at NCAA Division II Mars Hill (N.C.) College.
