UND was outrebounded in a game was a 

66-61 loss at St. Cloud State on Feb. 1, 

2007.

Seay (Grand Forks) and junior F Kierah 

Kimbrough (Greenbush, Minn.) were 

named to the Academic All-North Central 

Conference Women’s Basketball team 

earlier this week.

on the entire academic squad with a perfect 

4.0 grade point average. Kimbrough, 

meanwhile, carries a 3.36 GPA in communication.

Langen (Kennedy, Minn.) scored 18 

points last Saturday against UNO to 

become just the second player in program 

history to score 2,000 career points:

and ranks third in scoring (16.5 ppg). 

ASSISTANCE PLAN: UND matched its NCC 

season high with 28 assists last Saturday 

against UNO and has now recorded at least 

20 assists in eight straight games. 

That’s the longest such streak for the 

Sioux since they recorded 20-plus assists 

for eight straight games early in the 2005- 

06 season. 

UND enters Saturday’s game leading the 

NCC in assists per game (20.65) and ranks 

second in assist/turnover ratio (1.25). 

Individually, senior G Karla Beck 

(Munich, N.D.) has taken over the NCC 

lead in assists per game (5.45 apg) during 

league games.

at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center, which 

opened its doors prior to the 2004-05 season.

their final regular season game in a Sioux 

uniform on Saturday. 

The group has gone 115-13 (.898) en route

G e n e 

Roebuck was 

hired as the 

University of 

N o r t h 

Dakota’s 

women’s basketball 

coach 

in June 1987, 

he has firmly 

placed the Fighting Sioux program into 

the upper echelon of Division II success. 

But was it possible even for Roebuck, in 

his 21st season at UND, to imagine what 

has evolved during his tenure at UND, 

including becoming the winningest 

coach (.856 winning percentage) in 

Division II women’s basketball history? 

The 2006-07 season was another 

memorable one, as Roebuck surpassed 

500 victories at UND and led the 

Fighting Sioux to a fifth NCAA Division 

II Women’s Basketball Elite Eight in 10 

years. Along the way the Sioux also captured 

a third consecutive North Central 

Conference title (11th overall), a seventh 

straight NCC playoff tournament championship 

and an NCAA North Central 

Region crown, the latter two coming on 

UND’s home court. It was UND’s 19th 

NCAA appearance under Roebuck, who 

collected his 10th NCC Coach of the 

Year award. 

The 2005-06 Sioux rolled to a 34-1 

record last season that included a perfect 

12-0 mark in North Central Conference 

play. Roebuck capped the season by 

being named the 2006 Russell 

Athletic/WBCA Division II Region 

Coach of the Year. 

During his time behind the UND 

bench, Roebuck has instilled an uptempo 

pace in a Fighting Sioux program 

that amasses wins nearly as frequently as 

it tallies transition baskets. 

Roebuck’s teams have become accustomed 

to bringing home hardware. After 

national championships in 1997, 1998 

and 1999, Roebuck guided the 2001 

team to within a basket of the Sioux’s 

fourth national title in five seasons. In 

UND Head Coach Gene Roebuck (21st year) 

that season, UND took home its first 

NCC Wells Fargo Finals championship 

and have won it every year since (seven 

straight). 

Since 1990, UND has gone 489-73 

and has won 11 North Central 

Conference championships. He has produced 

the WBCA Player of the Year four 

times since 1995 and has had seven NCC 

MVPs. He has also had 17 players be 

named All-American and 50 players 

become All-NCC. 

Had Roebuck come into a program 

that was already producing similar 

results, continuing such success would 

have been remarkable in itself, but prior 

to Roebuck’s arrival, UND had had 13 

seasons of basketball in which the Sioux 

teams went 177-161. Seven seasons 

above .500, six seasons below. The 1987 

team that he inherited had gone 7-20. 

The seven wins were five fewer than the 

12 UND won in 1986, which was down 

from 23 wins in 1985. 

The program had played in a grand 

total of two NCAA tournament games, 

losing both. The program seemed to be 

spiraling downward, but Roebuck, who 

had gone 87-14 in three seasons at UND- 

Lake Region, got to work establishing 

the program he thought UND could be. 

The results were immediate and they 

were impressive. 

The 1988 team opened up winning its 

first 15 games, including a 61-59 win at 

Division I Arizona. The Sioux took that 

perfect record into Fargo for Roebuck’s 

first matchup with North Dakota State, 

the program that had already achieved 

the level of success Roebuck thought 

UND could achieve and even surpass. 

Though the Sioux lost, 77-70, it was 

clear to Roebuck and followers of UND 

women’s basketball that the program 

was on its way to bigger and better 

things. 

The 1988 team went on to win 22 

games and advance to the NCAA regionals 

for just the third time in the program’s 

history. Roebuck and the Sioux 

were off and running. 

The 1989 team posted a 19-9 record.

2006 & 2007 

Though the 19 wins would be Roebuck’s only 

time not reaching at least 20 wins, it was still a 

mark that had only been reached by the 1980 

(19-8), 1984 (22-7) and 1985 (23-6) UND 

teams. 

The first of two watershed breakthroughs 

for the program occurred during the 1990 season. 

That team finished 27-4, Durene Heisler 

would become UND’s first NCC MVP and 

first All-American, Roebuck won the first of 

his seven NCC Coach of the Year awards and 

UND returned to the NCAA tournament, to 

which it has advanced every year since. A 93- 

78 victory over Augustana in the first round 

was the program’s first postseason victory, 

which was followed by a 90-58 defeat of North 

Dakota State. Though the Sioux lost to Cal 

Poly Pomona in the national quarterfinals, 

UND had reached a new level of expectation.

UND went 150-27 over the next six 

years, winning three NCC titles and averaging 

a remarkable 25 wins per year. The 

two steps (compete against the best teams 

in the North Central Conference and win 

the NCC championships) of Roebuck’s 

plan were clearly accomplished and the 

groundwork was now in place for the program’s 

second watershed breakthrough. 

It came on March 9, 1997, at North 

Dakota State in the championship game of 

the NCAA Division II North Central 

Regional. The Sioux were in the NCAA

tournament for the eighth consecutive 

year, and if a national championship was 

to be won, what better place to take the 

step that had not been taken before than 

the Bison Sports Arena? If the Sioux wanted 

to be the best, they would have to beat 

the best. NDSU was the four-time defending 

national champions and had won 58 

straight games on its home court. 

Down 64-54 with six minutes to play, 

UND went on a nearly inconceivable 19-2 

run to close out the game, moving onto the 

Elite Eight and moving up to Roebuck’s 

final step, that being national champions. 

That happened the following weekend at 

the Elite Eight that was played in Grand 

Forks, where the 1997 Sioux won a national 

championship, but did so using the 

groundwork laid out by the teams of the 

early and mid-90s. 

The Sioux would win two more national 

titles in 1998 and 1999 and advance to 

the 2001 national championship game. 

Roebuck’s athletic success began at 

Velva (N.D.) High School, where he 

earned 12 letters in football, basketball and 

baseball. He would go on to play both 

baseball and basketball at Mayville State 

(N.D.), where he would earn a degree in 

physical education and business education 

in 1969. While at MSU, Roebuck was a 

four-year letterwinner and three-year 

starter in basketball. He also excelled in

baseball, twice earning all-conference honors 

and being named to the NAIA District 

12 team once. In the fall of 2000, he was 

inducted into the Mayville State Hall of 

Fame. 

In addition to leading the UND-Lake 

Region women’s basketball team to a 

three-year mark of 87-14, Roebuck also 

guided the Royal baseball team to 1985, 

1986 and 1987 North Dakota state baseball 

championships. 

Roebuck was named baseball coach at 

North Dakota in 1990 and led the Sioux to a 

99-61-1 record over four seasons. In 1993 he 

took UND to the Division II College World 

Series for the first time in school history. 

Roebuck resigned as baseball coach in July 

1993 to concentrate solely on women’s basketball. 

Roebuck’s wife, Karolyn, works for the 

Grand Forks Public Schools system. They 

have one daughter, Cierra, who is a student 

assistant coach with the Sioux after playing 

the past two seasons.
