Case Western Reserve University Women's Basketball

Jennifer Reimer was named the seventh womens basketball coach in school history on September 6, 2007, and brought with her a resume filled with winning experience. In her 25 seasons as the head coach of four programs, including CWRU, she has compiled an overall career mark of 314-293, good for a .517 winning percentage. In her 15 seasons with the Spartans, Reimer has posted seven winning campaigns and became the winningest Head Coach in program history with the 121st victory at CWRU during an 80-64 win at John Carroll on November 18, 2017.  She has mentored her players to a total of 37 All-UAA honors, including 11 first-team selections, and has seen five Spartans named to the D3hoops.com All-Region Team under her watch. Reimer became a member of the 300-career win club on December 20, 2019, with the team's victory against Wooster. It was part of a 10-win campaign for the Spartans, which included just the second win in program history against Washington U. and a victory against #14 Chicago during the same weekend, earning her WHoopDirt.com Coach of the Week honors. She also helped Abbey Lawrence earn All-UAA First Team and D3hoops.com All-Region Third Team honors as a sophomore. Reimer helped guide the Spartans to a 15-10 record during the 2018-19 season, marking the highest win total for the team since the 2011-12 season, and tied for the second highest mark in program history in a single season.  In addition, the Spartans' 11-win increase from the previous season was the seventh-best improvement among Division III teams in 2018-19.  Reimer coached both graduate student Kara Hageman and senior Hillary Hellmann to All-UAA First Team berths, the third time in program history that the Spartans have placed two players on the All-UAA First Team. Reimer led the 2016-17 team to 13 wins, as the team notched the second-highest scoring season in program history.  She matched the program record for wins by a head coach on February 12, 2017, with a 71-68 win over Brandeis University, the 120th of her career.  Junior Kara Hageman was named to the All-UAA First Team and All-Region Third Team while setting the team's single-season and single-game scoring records. The 2012-13 season saw the program notch 16 victories, the team's highest total in 11 seasons, while also producing an 8-6 record and a fourth-place finish in one of the top womens basketball conferences in Division III the University Athletic Association. In addition, four Spartans earned All-Association honors, while senior guard Evy Iacono became just the second player in program history to be named UAA Player of the Year. Under Reimers tutelage, Iacono also became the second All-American in program history with an honorable mention nod from D3Hoops.com. In each of the previous two seasons, Reimers program produced a Capital One Academic All-American® as well as a finalist for the Jostens Trophy (DIII Player of the Year) in forward Erin Hollinger. Also in 2010-11, Reimer's Spartans earned the No. 1 ranking in the WBCA Academic Top 25 Honor Roll. And, on January 8, 2011, the head coach picked up her 200th career victory in a 59-47 triumph at rival Carnegie Mellon University (Pa.). Prior to coming to Case Western Reserve, Reimer was the head coach at Allegheny College (Pa.) of the North Coast Athletic Conference. During her tenure, she posted a 120-67 mark and averaged more than 17 wins per season. She inherited a program that had lacked success for nearly a decade and immediately turned it into a winner with a 20-6 record during the first season. Her 120 victories also remain the highest total in Allegheny womens basketball history. Before her time at Allegheny, Reimer coached the University of Mount Union and won 32 games in just two seasons (32-18 overall). She also coached Juniata College (Pa.) for one season (1997-98) following a three-year stint as an assistant at Ohio Northern University. As a player, Reimer was a four-year starter and two-year captain at point guard for Lycoming College (Pa.). She left the program with the second-highest assist total in school history and was named the Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year as a senior. Reimer earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology/anthropology from Lycoming in 1994 and her Master of Science degree in education from Bowling Green State University in 1996.
