WBB Coaches

Head Women's Basketball Coach
Curt Fredrickson
27th Season at NSU

No one in NCAA Division II basketball has a history of winning like Northern State University head coach Curt Fredrickson. With 612 wins, Fredrickson ranks in the top four on the NCAA II wins and is only one of four DII women's coaches to surpass 600 wins.. But what sets him apartis his program’s commitment to consistent excellence.

During Fredrickson’s tenure, the Wolves have played in five NAIA national tournaments, winning the NAIA II national title in 1991-92 and 1993-94, finishing second in 1992-93, claiming third in 1980-81, and finishing among the final eight teams in 1994-95. Fredrickson’s Wolves have also collected two district basketball championships and two regional crowns. In the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, the Wolves have had six first-place and six second-place finishes under Fredrickson. Fredrickson was named the NAIA II National Coach of the Year in 1992 and again in 1994. He has received additional coach of the year honors from the South Dakota Press Association, Royal Order of the Gyps, Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, Midwest Independent Region (2) and NAIA District 12 (3). In 1992 he was inducted into the NSU Athletic Hall of Fame.

One of the major highlights during the Fredrickson years were NSU’s national championship runs in the early 1990’s. The 1991-92 team won the national championship and finished the season with a 30-4 record. The Wolves set out to defend their national crown in 1992-93 but were defeated in the national championship game. After dropping its season opener the next season, NSU reeled off 32 straight wins and made it to the national title game for the third season in a row. The Wolves claimed their second national championship in three years by coming out on top in a thriller against host team Western Oregon State University. The team’s 32-1 mark that season is a school record. In 1994-95, the Wolves jumped out to 13-0 mark and set new NAIA II and NCAA II records with 45 consecutive wins from Nov. 1993 to Jan. 1995.

The success hasn’t stopped since NSU joined the NCAA II ranks in 1995-96. The Wolves have made post-season appearances in three of their six years under the new affiliation, falling to eventual national champion North Dakota in the semifinals in 1996-97 and making another semifinal run in 1997-98 by knocking off perennial DII powerhouse North Dakota State.

Curt's family includes his wife, Vicki, daughter Lindsey and two boys, Cole and Blair.

A three-time NSIC All-Conference player, Bain helped lead the Wolves to three North Central Region Tournament appearances.

She then was hired as the assistant women’s basketball coach at Presentation College (Aberdeen, SD) during the 2003-04 season.
