Nancy Winstel led Northern Kentucky to the 2000 NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball National Championship, which was also the GLVC’s first-ever national title in women’s sports.  She followed with another national championship in 2008 and finished her career with the Norse with a record of 636-214.  A six-time GLVC Coach of the Year, Winstel was named the WBCA Division II National Coach of the Year in 1999-2000 after leading NKU to its first national title. The Norse posted a 32-2 record that season and won 24 consecutive games en route to the school's first-ever national championship.  She was named the Women's Division II Bulletin National Coach of the Decade in 2009, and her basketball program was also tabbed the best during that decade by that same publication.  In addition, 64 of her players earned All-Conference distinction, including 23 first-team honorees, 16 second-team selections, four third-team picks, and 21 honorable mention standouts.  Winstel also mentored six GLVC Player of the Year honorees and one Freshman of the Year recipient.
