UW-Oshkosh head women’s basketball coach Brad Fischer announced the hiring of Kelly McNiff as an assistant coach on Friday (Aug. 2). McNiff replaces Ana Wurtz, who resigned earlier this summer to take a similar position at Winona State University (Minn.).

McNiff, who played basketball at UW-Oshkosh from 1997-2000, was the head girls basketball coach at De Pere High School since 2010. She led the Redbirds to a 96-11 record, three Fox River Classic Conference (FRCC) titles and a Division 1 state championship in 2012 (below). De Pere was the state runner-up in 2010.

Last season, De Pere won its first 24 games before getting beat by Kimberly in a sectional semifinal. The loss ended a 44-game winning streak for the Redbirds.
