Oregon made eight-straight NCAA Tournament appearances under Jody Runge from 1994-2001 and won back-to-back Pac-10 championships in 1998-99 and 1999-2000. Runge finished her tenure as one of the most successful coaches in school history. She won 160 games with 73 losses in eight seasons. Her 160 wins are the third-most in program history. Runge had an impressive 100-44 conference record. She was named Pac-10 Coach of the Year in her first season, 1993-94, when she took a team that went 9-18 the year before and led the Ducks to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a 20-9 record. She was also named the 1999 Pac-10 Coach of the Year after guiding Oregon to a 25-6 record, which included a 15-3 conference mark and a share of the first Pac-10 title in school history. A year later, the Ducks were 23-8 and won their first outright Pac-10 crown. In her eight seasons, Oregon never finished lower than fourth in the Pac-10. Under Runge’s tutelage, four Ducks earned All-America honorable mention honors – Shaquala Williams (twice), Sally Crowe, Arianne Boyer and Natalie Hughes – and 11 garnered all-Pac-10 first team recognition. Boyer became just the fifth 1,500-point scorer in program history. Runge also coached the first two WNBA Draft choices in program history, Jenny Mowe and Angelina Wolvert (2001). Runge’s teams were successful in the classroom as well. The Ducks accumulated 18 Pac-10 All-Academic first and second team awards during Runge’s time at Oregon. She also helped home attendance grow exponentially. The Ducks averaged nearly 6,000 fans a game in 1999-2000 and set a record at the time when 9,738 watched Oregon defeat No. 21 Oregon State 69-60 at McArthur Court on March 8, 1996.
