COLLEGIATE PLAYING CAREER1980-1984 - Basketball & Tennis (Slippery Rock)

The longest tenured women’s basketball head coach in the Mid-American Conference, Jodi Kest is in her 12th season at the helm of The University of Akron women’s basketball program. The all-time winningest coach in pro-gram history, returns to the sidelines after guiding a young Zips’ squad to a 9-21 record for the 2016-17 campaign.

Kest coached senior Hannah Plybon to her third Mid-American Conference postseason honor following the 2016-17 season, as the Zips career leader 3-point leader earned All-MAC honorable mention. The Zips finished last years campaign rated Nos. 3, 4 and 9 in the Akron single-season record book in three pointers attempted (681), triples made (206) and games played (30).

Kest has amassed nearly 400 victories in her coaching career, highlighted by registering at least 19 wins in three consecutive campaigns (2014-16). She has guided Akron to four postseason berths in the past five seasons (NCAA 2014, WNIT 2013, 2015 and 2016) and five overall postseason appearances in the last eight years.

Under Kest’s tutelage, Akron has become well-known for its up-tempo style of play and has established itself as one of the top-scoring teams in the coun-try. Kest’s squad was ranked 54th nationally during the 2015-16 campaign in scoring offense averaging 71.3 points per game. Her 2015-16 team also rated in the top 50 nationally in three-pointers attempted (780), triples per game (7.8), three-pointers made (258) and rebounds (1,354).Led by first-team All-Mid-American Conference performer senior Anita Brown, Akron finished the 2015-16 campaign with a 19-14 ledger en route to a second-place finish in the MAC Eastern Division at 11-7. The Zips gar-nered their fourth-consecutive postseason berth being selected to partici-pate in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT), where Akron hosted Bucknell in the program’s first-ever home postseason game.

A pair of Akron players earned All-MAC recognition as Brown was named a first-team selection, while junior Hannah Plybon was tabbed to the second team.

The 2015-16 Zips set several new single-season records, including, most games played (33), three-pointers made (258) and attempted (780) and triples made in a game (15) versus Buffalo in the semifinals of the MAC Tour-nament.

Akron’s senior class of Megan Barilla, DiAndra Gibson and Brown capped an unprecedented run in Akron women’s basketball success garnering more vic-tories (87) than any other class in program history. The trio also became the first Zips’ senior class to appear in the postseason during every year of their four-year careers.

In addition to its team accomplishments, Akron fielded several impressive individual accolades. Brown and Plybon registered the third- and ninth-best single-season scoring outputs in program history scoring 701 and 537 points, respectively. Plybon connected on a single-season record 104 three pointers, while Barilla recorded the first-ever triple-double in Akron’s Divi-sion I history with a 10-point, 10-rebound and 10-assist performance in a 74-54 victory past Central Florida.

Additionally, Kest earned her 375th career victory at Eastern Michigan, 68-65, in overtime, before collecting her 150th triumph at Akron over Bowling Green, 71-55.

Brown garnered first-team All-MAC accolades after starting all 32 games in which she appeared for Akron this season en route to leading the conference in scoring (21.9) and ranking sixth in rebounding, pulling down a team-best 7.4 rebounds per game.

During her 10 seasons, Kest has seen 18 of her student-athletes earn All-MAC recognition, eight make the All-Freshman Team, two earn Sixth Player of the Year honors, and two named Player of the Year and WBCA All-Region. Additionally, she has coached 20 Academic All-MAC selections, including a record four in 2015-16 as Alli Ball, Plybon, Hannah Scipio and Megan Sefcik all earned the distinction.
