MATT BOLLANT WINS THE 2011 KAY YOW AWARD



BOSTON (MA) -- Wisconsin-Green Bay’s Matt Bollant has had one of the more impressive runs by a mid-major coach in recent history.

In four seasons as Phoenix coach, Bollant has compiled a stunning 68-4 record in the Horizon League and an equally impressive overall mark of 117-16 while guiding Green Bay to three NCAA tournaments and one WNIT. He is the fastest coach in school history to win 100 games.

This year, Bollant led the team to an unbeaten league record (18-0) and a 13th-straight Horizon League regular season title. After being named Horizon League Coach of the Year for the third time, Bollant led the team to a Horizon League tournament title for the second time in his career. His team was rewarded for its excellence with a fifth seed in the Dallas region of the NCAA Tournament.

The Kay Yow Award was established last year to honor the Division I women’s head coach who embodies not only a winning spirit but who also displays great character both on and off the court.

Yow was a coaching legend who led NC State to 737 wins during her 34 seasons at the school. She was wildly successful in every forum in which she coached, leading gold medal winners at the 1981 World University Games, the 1986 Goodwill Games, 1986 World Championship Games and the 1988 Olympic Games.
