sChool nICkname

“Bronchos” was the nickname selected for Central Oklahoma in 1922 by Mrs. C.W. Wantland, wife of long-time UCO football coach C.W. Wantland. 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.

sChool Colors

Bronze and blue were chosen as Central Oklahoma’s school colors early in the fall of 1895 by school president Edmund Dandridge Murdaugh. The first public display of the bronze and blue was in Guthrie when a student represented UCO in the first oratorical contest ever held in Oklahoma.

Guy hardaker

In his 10th year at the controls of the Central Oklahoma program is Guy Har-daker, who has turned the Bronchos into a perennial NCAA Division II national tournament contender.

A member of the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame, Hardaker took over the helm in 2006 after a highly-successful stint as boys high school basketball coach and is 164-101 in nine years with the Bronchos.

He’s led UCO to its only four Divi-sion II national tournament appearances -- including a pair of Sweet 16 berths -- and the Bronchos won 20-plus games a school-record four consecutive seasons from 2007-11.

Guy guided Central to two titles and three runner-up finishes in the Lone Star Conference North Division the last five years the Bronchos were in the league and he’s had 12 players earn all-conference honors, including two Player of the Year selections.

UCO finished a surprising 15-13 and was LSC North Division runner-up in Hardaker’s first year in 2006-07 and really took off the next season.

The Bronchos gained a share of their first-ever LSC North Division title in 2007-08 and made it to the LSC Tournament finals for the first time since 1993 while also earning their first-ever Division II national tournament berth.

UCO pulled out a thrilling overtime victory in the first round of the South Central Regional before losing to eventual champion Washburn to finish 24-8, the second-most wins in school history.

The Bronchos did even better in 2008-09, winning the outright LSC North Division crown and making it back to the LSC Tournament finals in again qualifying for the national tournament as Hardaker was named LSC North Coach of the Year.

UCO had two hard-earned wins at the South Central Regional to make the Sweet 16 for the first time ever before falling in the finals to host

West Texas A&M and finishing a best-ever 27-6.

Hardaker and the Bronchos came back with a 22-8 campaign in 2009-10, finishing runner-up in the LSC North and making a third straight national tournament appearance before losing in the first round.

Guy got UCO back in the na-tional tournament in 2010-11 with a team that lost six players to season-ending injury, using a stirring post-season run to advance to the Sweet 16 en route to a 22-10 finish.

The Bronchos were once again LSC North Division runners-up, pulled off an overtime upset in making the LSC Tournament finals before losing a one-point heartbreaker there and then knocked off two higher seeds in advancing to the South Central Regional finals.

Central competed as a Division II independent in 2011-12 and went 16-10 despite playing one of the toughest schedules in school history and then moved into the rugged Mid-America Intercollegiate Athlet-ics Association the next season, going 9-17 while plagued by injuries.

The Bronchos improved to 12-16 in 2013-14 with five losses by six points or less and then jumped to 17-13 last season, winning a first-round game in the conference tournament for the second straight year.

Guy started his coaching career at Edmond Memorial High School, serving as head girls golf coach and assistant boys basketball coach from 1987-93.

He led the Lady Bulldogs to two state championships and one runner-up finish in golf while helping the boys basketball team to three Class 6A state tournament appearances, capped by a state title in 1993.

Hardaker moved over to Edmond Santa Fe High School in 1993 and coached the boys basketball and golf programs there until coming to UCO.

He led the SFHS basketball squad to four straight regional titles and the Wolves qualified for the state tournament his last three years at the helm, capturing the Class 6A state title in 2004-05. He finished with a 173-148 record.

Guy was a three-year baseball star at UCO from 1982-84, leading the Bronchos to a 101-49 record in that span before leaving following his junior year after getting drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies.

A two-time All-District 9 and NAIA All-Area pick, Har-daker was taken in the 10th round by the Phillies in 1983 and spent two years playing in the minor leagues, reaching as high as the Triple A level.

He was inducted into the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006.

Guy, who received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UCO, is married (Tammy) and has two children (Chance and Tate).

n experienced group of returners looks to team with a talented batch of newcomers and make Central Oklahoma a top contender for the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association title

in 2015-16. The Bronchos return seven players from last year’s 17-

13 team and added several freshmen and transfers who are expected to have an immediate impact.

“We have a nice balance of new, young players and older, more experienced ones,” said 10th-year head coach Guy Hardaker. “There will be a lot of competition for playing time and that will just make everybody better.

“Each year in the MIAA we have moved up the confer-ence standings and our goal is to keep climbing. Hopefully we can continue that and get in the conference tournament as a top four team. If we can do that, we’ll have a chance to get into the national tournament.

UCO is led by a trio of returning full-time start-ers -- seniors Julia Ma-son and Jordan Ward and junior Olivia Ma-son -- and senior Haley Weathers, who started the first 11 games last year before going out with a season-ending injury.

J. Mason was a third-team All-MIAA selection last year after averaging 10.4 points and 4.5 re-bounds a game. She’s still getting back to full strength after suffering a knee injury in the conference tournament last year, but fea-tures a potent all-around game that makes her one of the league’s best players.

O. Mason averaged 9.3 points and a team-high 5.4 rebounds a contest last season while also topping the Bronchos in 3-pointers (46). She’s a two-time honorable mention All-MIAA selection and is ready to become even more of a force this winter.

Ward is a vital team leader and the glue to the offensive attack, though a pre-season injury may keep her out of the lineup early. She averaged 4.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists a game a year ago.

Weathers was the team’s leading scorer through 11 games last year with an 11.3 average before going down with a knee injury. She’s one of the league’s top long-range

Aseason outlook

shooting threats and her return to form is key to UCO’s success.

Three other letterwinners return from last year in senior McKenzie Solberg and juniors Marley Anderson and Ashley Stephens

Solberg provides instant offense for the Bronchos with her ability to score both inside and out. She averaged 7.8 points and 3.3 rebounds a game last season while making

four starts and erupted for 26 points in a first-round MIAA Tournament

win over Nebraska-Kearney after J. Mason went out with injury.

Anderson gives UCO another steady performer at guard and is

a fine passer who can also score. She netted 5.2 points and 2.3 re-

bounds an outing last year while playing in every game with

three starts.Stephens is the team’s

tallest player at 6-foot-3 and will vie for more play-ing time after seeing lim-ited action in 2014-15.

The Bronchos also have back redshirt fresh-man Savannah Gray, while senior Hayley Bryan is a three-year

letterwinner who will redshirt this season.Nine newcomers join the roster -- fresh-

men Blake Blessington, Lauren Godbold, Tierra Jones, Madison Lee, Sadie Mason, Taylor O’Dell and Bailey Taylor, redshirt freshman Alaisha Castleberry and sophomore Megan Womack -- and several of those will see immediate action.

Womack is a Division I transfer from North Texas who will battle for a starting berth inside, while Blessington, Lee, Mason, Taylor and Castleberry are all expected to see plenty of playing time. Godbold, Jones and O’Dell are scheduled to redshirt.

“The strength of our team is their competitive spirit,” said Hardaker, who has a 164-101 record with the Bronchos. “Our overall toughness in this grueling conference is the key because you can’t take a night off.

“I also think this team has a chance to play a full-court game, both defensively and offensively. We should be able to press some teams and we have a lot of different offensive weapons.

“We’re excited about what we can accomplish this year.”

uCo 75, waShBuRn 64 TOPEKA, Kan. (Feb. 12) -- Hayley Bryan scored five points during a

16-second span eight minutes into the game to put Central Oklahoma in front and the Bronchos went on to a crucial 75-64 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association triumph over Washburn.

The Bronchos shot 52.7 percent (29-of-55) from the field and committed just eight turnovers while holding WU to 35.5 percent shooting in improving to 15-9 overall and 8-7 in the conference.

Julia Mason had 15 points to lead UCO’s balanced attack that saw four players score in double figures. Chelsea Robinson and Kylie Mayes added 13 points apiece while combining to make 11-of-14 shots with three 3-pointers and Olivia Mason chipped in 11 points and a game-high eight rebounds.

empoRia State 80, uCo 67EMPORIA, Kan. (Feb. 14) -- Central Oklahoma’s spirited second-half rally

fell short and No.9-ranked Emporia State pulled away at the free throw line down the stretch to beat the Bronchos 80-67.

The Bronchos fell to 15-10 on the season and 8-8 in Mid-America Intercol-legiate Athletics Association play in the physical contest that saw the teams combine for 46 fouls and 58 free throws.

Julia Mason led UCO with 14 points and two blocked shots, while Kylie Mayes added 13 points. Olivia Mason had 11 points, a team-high seven rebounds and four assists, with Chelsea Robinson chipping in nine points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals.

noRtheaSteRn State 62, uCo 54TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (Feb. 21) -- Central Oklahoma nearly overcame a

rough shooting outing, but came up short in a 62-54 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association loss to Northeastern State.

The Bronchos were without leading 3-point shooter Olivia Mason -- who suffered a concussion during practice earlier in the week -- and made just 2-of-21 attempts (9.5 percent) from beyond the arc while shooting just 29.8 percent (17-of-57) overall.

Julia Mason led the Bronchos with 23 points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots, hitting 7-of-13 shots and 8-of-10 free throws. Chelsea Robinson was the only other player in double figures with 13 points while adding six rebounds and three steals.

FoRt hayS State 56, uCo 55EDMOND (Feb. 26) -- Missed opportunities down the stretch prevented

Central Oklahoma from pulling off a monumental upset as the Bronchos fell to No. 4-ranked Fort Hays State 56-55.

Neither team scored in the last 2:26 after Julia Mason’s layup made it 56-55, with UCO missing three free throws and making two turnovers the rest of the way.

J. Mason led the Bronchos with 17 points, while Chelsea Robinson had 12 points and nine rebounds. UCO had only eight turnovers, but shot just 60.9 percent (14-of-23) from the line and 29.8 percent (17-of-57) from the field.

uCo 79, neBRaSka-keaRney 58EDMOND (Feb. 28) -- Julia Mason and Chelsea Robinson scored 17 points

apiece and keyed a first-half surge that gave Central Oklahoma a lead it would never relinquish in a 79-58 romp over Nebraska-Kearney.

The Bronchos improved to 16-12 in the regular season finale and tied for sixth in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association standings at 9-10.

J. Mason was 6-of-10 from the field and 5-of-6 from the line, while Robinson made 6-of-9 shots and 4-of-5 foul shots in their 17-point outings.

uCo 90, neBRaSka-keaRney 70EDMOND (March 3) – When Julia Mason went down, McKenzie Solberg

stepped up and kept Central Oklahoma’s season alive in the first round of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Post-season Tournament.

The Bronchos lost leading scorer Mason to a knee injury seven minutes into the game while trailing 15-11, but Solberg scored all of her career-high 26 points the rest of the way as UCO caught and then eventually cruised past Nebraska-Kearney 90-70.

Solberg had plenty of help, but the junior guard was clearly the catalyst in the big win that pushed the Bronchos into the quarterfinals, hitting 10-of-13 shots with a pair of 3-pointers and 4-of-5 free throws in scoring 18 points more than her season average. She added three rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes of action.

Kylie Mayes was virtually unstoppable for the Bronchos, making all seven field goal tries – including just her fourth trey of the season – and 4-of-5 foul shots in a 19-point outing.

Marley Anderson added 15 points and three assists, Jordan Ward chipped in nine points and five assists and Olivia Mason had a game-high nine rebounds and four assists.

UCO shot a season-best 57.4 percent from the field (35-of-61) in improving to 17-12.

pittSBuRg State 78, uCo 71KANSAS CITY, Mo. (March 6) – A promising start turned sour late in the

first half and Central Oklahoma had its season ended in the quarterfinals of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Post-season Tournament.

Kylie Mayes dominated early as the Bronchos zipped to a 24-9 lead over Pittsburg State only to see the No. 13-ranked Gorillas surge in front by halftime en route to a 78-71 victory at Municipal Auditorium.

UCO trailed by as many as 19 in the second half before staging a late rally to get within six in the final minute, but Pitt State held on for its third win of the season over the Bronchos, who ended 17-13.

Mayes was virtually unstoppable in staking UCO to its early 15-point advan-tage before missing the last nine minutes of the half with foul trouble and PSU took advantage in seizing a 38-35 lead at the break.

Mayes finished with a career-high 22 points in her final game, making 8-of-13 shots and all six foul shots in addition to pulling down six rebounds. Marley Anderson added 12 points off the bench, while Olivia Mason had 12 points and a team-high seven rebounds.

Central Oklahoma has made six national tournament appearances, two in the now-defunct AIAW (American Intercollegiate Athletics for Women) and four in NCAA Division II.

The Bronchos have an 10-6 record in national tournament play, including a 5-4 mark in Division II.

UCO first qualified in 1975-76, defeating North Texas, 68-56, in the first round of the AIAW Division II Region IV Tournament before being eliminated by Northwest Louisiana, 89-80.

The Bronchos went back in 1981-82 and won four games to reach the quarterfinals of the AIAW Division II National Tournament.

UCO captured the Region IV Tournament crown with wins over Texas Christian (86-71), Ouchita Baptist (79-73) and Centenary (79-72) and then defeated Hofstra, 73-66, to make the quarterfinals before being eliminated by eventual champion Francis-Marion, 91-87.

UCO didn’t return to national tournament play again until 2007-08,

when the Bronchos earned their first NCAA Division II playoff bid with an at-large berth into the South Central Regional.

Coach Guy Hardaker’s crew knocked off St. Mary’s 75-73 in over-time in the first round before being eliminated by Washburn, 73-66.

UCO went back to the Division II national tournament in 2008-09, advancing to the Sweet 16 in making the South Central Regional finals.

The Bronchos opened with a 68-66 overtime win over Southeastern Oklahoma and then got past Washburn 72-63 in the semifinals before falling to host West Texas A&M 65-52 in the regional championship.

UCO made it back to the playoffs again in 2009-10, but fell to Northeastern State in the first round, 54-52.

The Bronchos qualified for the fourth straight time in 2010-11 and advanced to the Sweet 16 with back-to-back upsets, knocking off Washburn 65-64 and host Northeastern State 68-60 before falling in the regional finals to Northwest Missouri, 82-70.

Central Oklahoma is in its fourth year as a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

The MIAA, a 14-member conference of NCAA Division II insti-tutions in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, was first or-ganized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

Over the past 100 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of be-ing 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 champi-onships 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 vol-leyball, 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 confer-ence changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics As-sociation.

The decision to make the change origi-nated 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 institu-tions. 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

Mid-AMericA intercollegiAte Athletics AssociAtion State), Northwest Missouri, Southeast Missouri State and Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State).

Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: Mis-souri 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 Bo-erigter 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 South-ern and Missouri Western began competi-tion in the 1989-90 season.

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season and was re-placed 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,

Nebraska-Omaha entered the league in 2008 and Lincoln re-joined the conference in 2010.

UCO, Lindenwood, Nebraska-Kearney and Northeastern State all become league members with the start of the 2012-13 academic year.

Nebraska-Omaha left the league in 2011 and Truman State did the same in 2013, which leaves the conference with 14 schools. Lincoln and SBU are associate members who compete in women’s basketball.
