NNU Career
Staci was a two-time NAIA All-American, earning First Team honors as a senior in 2000 and Third Team honors as a freshman in 1997. During that 1997 year, she was a member of NNU’s NAIA National Championship team and was named the Cascade Conference Freshman of the Year. At the time of her induction, Staci’s name is still all over the
NNU women’s basketball record books, holding three career records and one single-season record while appearing in over a dozen different top-ten lists. Over two decades after her graduation, she remains the program’s all-time leader in career scoring with 1,657 points, career three-pointers made with 281, and career minutes played with 3,531. She also holds the top single-season mark for three-pointers made with 92. In addition to being first in those three categories, she is also still eighth in career field goals made (509), seventh in career three-point percentage (37.5%), third in career free
throws made (358), 10th in career defensive rebounds (422), ninth in career assists (314), and seventh in career steals (222). At the conclusion of her NNU career, Staci was awarded two of NNU’s prestigious end-of-the-year honors - the Salisbury Basketball Award and the Hopkins-Humphrey Female Athlete of the Year Award.

Personal & Professional Achievements
Staci graduated from NNU with a degree in Social Work and Psychology and now leads Jim’s Heating and Cooling, an HVAC company based in Garden City, with her husband Richard. They have three children: Jaden (currently on the NNU men’s basketball team), Aspen, and Tariah.
