The name was chosen from a number of suggestions for the name of UCO’s football team and became the nickname for all athletic teams at the school. Mrs. Wantland was made an honorary member of the Letterman’s Club as a result of selecting the nickname, becoming the first woman admitted to that organization.

Review/History


2015 UCO Softball 2014 Season Review The Bronchos earned two shutout wins over intrastate rival Rogers State in their next outing, getting two home runs and seven runs batted in from Hannah Justus in a 10-0 first-game rout before Brady tossed a five-hitter in a 7-0 second-game shutout. UCO returned to league play March 21 by clubbing 24 hits in 14-1 and 8-0 run-rule romps over Nebraska-Kearney, stretching its winning streak to 13 straight while improving to 21-7 overall and 10-0 in the MIAA. Fort Hays State ended that long streak the next day with a 4-1 firstgame win, but the Bronchos took the nightcap 9-1 behind an 11-hit attack. Central went on the road the next weekend and swept twinbills from Southwest Baptist and Central Missouri, moving to 26-8 and 15-1. UCO split a non-conference doubleheader with Oklahoma Christian on April 1 and then outscored Northeastern State 35-9 in a four-game series sweep as Brooke Zukerman went 11-for-12 at the plate with eight RBI. The Bronchos improved to 33-9 with two wins over Midwestern State to finish off the home schedule and then split a road doubleheader with Emporia State, winning the opener 3-2 as Kaylee Brunson went 4-for-5. Schrock threw her second perfect game of the season the next day in a 4-0 first-game win over Washburn before the Ichabods came back to take the nightcap 5-3. UCO split a doubleheader at Southern Nazarene and then ended the regular season with four more conference road games, winning the first three before falling to Missouri Western in the finale to finish 22-4 in MIAA play. The Bronchos blanked Lindenwood 3-0 in the opener of the conference tournament as Schrock tossed a threehitter and Ashton Smith drove in two runs, but losses to Missouri Western and Emporia State eliminated UCO. Central earned an at-large bid into the national tournament and Tori Collet had five hits and five RBI to spark a 7-5 nine-inning victory over Emporia State in the first round of the Central Regional in Mankato, Minn. UCO fell to Southeastern Oklahoma 5-4 in the next round and then was ousted by Emporia State in finishing 41-17.

Central Oklahoma overcame a rough start in earning a third straight trip to the NCAA Division II national tournament and reaching the 40win plateau for the fourth time in school history last season. The defending national champion Bronchos opened the season ranked No. 1, but lost three straight games in the Desert Stinger Tournament in Las Vegas, Nev. and were 3-5 after eight games before rebounding strong. UCO put together eight- and 13-game winning streaks en route to a 41-17 finish and came in second in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association before going 1-2 in the Central Regional. “We got off to a slow start and struggled some early, but we ended up having a really good season,” head coach Cody White said. “We did a lot of good things and played really well at times, though we just weren’t as consistent as we needed to be.” The Bronchos dropped a pair of one-run decisions to ranked opponents in starting 0-3 at the Desert Stinger Tournament before winning their final two, capped by a 3-2 victory over Minot State on Brooke Zukerman’s two-run home run and Emily Ditmore’s game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning. UCO lost two of the first three games the following weekend at the 8-State Classic to fall to 3-5 before ending that event with three straight wins, outscoring those opponents a combined 19-3. Central wrapped up its early-season tournament schedule the next week by going 3-2 at the Rattle Invitational and was 9-7 going into the start of conference play. The Bronchos outscored Lindenwood 16-1 in sweeping a doubleheader to open the MIAA schedule and came back the next day for 9-0 and 5-0 shutouts of Lincoln as pitchers Kalynn Schrock, Nicole Brady and Amanda McClelland gave up a combined seven hits. UCO continued its league dominance the next weekend, outhitting Missouri Southern 21-7 in an easy doubleheader sweep before beating Pittsburg State 7-3 and 6-2 to improve to 17-7 on the season and 8-0 in the conference.

2015 UCO SOftball the mid-ameriCa interCOllegiate athletiCS aSSOCiatiOn Central Oklahoma is in its third year as a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The MIAA, a 14-member conference of NCAA Division II institutions in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, was first organized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Over the past 100 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA schools have won 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, over 160 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts championships in eight sports for men and nine for women. For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf. The women compete for titles in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball, golf and tennis. The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II conference changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State and Washburn became the first schools outside the state of Missouri to gain membership in the MIAA. The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institutions. Of those original members, Central Missouri, Truman State and Northwest Missouri State still remain a part of the MIAA. The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central Missouri, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri

State), Northwest Missouri, Southeast Missouri State and Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State). Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: Missouri School of Mines (later Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln in 1970 and the Missouri-St. Louis in 1980. Ken Jones became the first full-time commissioner of the MIAA in 1981 and would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007. Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July of that year and served as commissioner until September of 2010, when Dr. Bob Boerigter took over. Southwest Baptist brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989. Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern and Missouri Western began competition in the 1989-90 season. Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season and was replaced by Emporia State in the 1991-92 season. Missouri-St. Louis departed the MIAA in 1996, Missouri-Rolla left in 2005 and Lincoln forfeited its membership in 1999. Fort Hays State joined the MIAA in 2006, NebraskaOmaha entered the league in 2008 and Lincoln re-joined the conference in 2010. On July 29, 2010, the MIAA CEO Council voted to extend invitations to UCO and Northeastern State to become members of the league and on Sept. 24, 2010 it voted to extend invitations to Nebraska-Kearney and Lindenwood. Nebraska-Omaha left the league in 2011 and Truman State did the same in 2013, which left the conference with 14 schools.
