URBANA, Ohio – The No. 21-ranked West Liberty University women's basketball team added head coach Lynn Ullom to the 500-win club in style here Monday night, breezing to a 95-79 victory over Urbana at the Grimes Center.

Now in his 25th season with the Lady Hilltoppers (4-1, 2-0), Ullom became only the 14th active NCAA Division II coach to reach the 500-win career milestone. He's averaged more than 20 wins a season in his quarter-century with the Black and Gold as Monday's win upped his career record to a sparkling 500-228 (.687).

Already the winningest coach in West Virginia women's basketball history, Ullom has built the Lady Hilltopper program into a perennial Mountain East Conference and NCAA Division II Atlantic Region power. 

Under Ullom's direction, West Liberty has posted 16 20-win seasons, won four regular-season conference titles, six conference tournament crowns, played in 13 conference tournament championship games, advanced to the league tournament's "Final Four" in 19 of the past 21 seasons and earned 13 NCAA Division II tournament bids.

His Lady Hilltoppers took care of business quickly on Monday, hitting 7 straight shots during one stretch of the opening quarter to take a 22-9 lead into the second frame. 

The host Blue Knights (1-2, 0-2) never got the margin under double-figures the rest of the way as WLU led by as many as 25 points in the second quarter before coasting through the second half.

Ullom wasn't the only member of the Lady Hilltopper family to pass some significant milestones.

Senior guard Liz Flowers scored 24 points to move into sixth place on West Liberty's career scoring list with 1,528 points. Hillary Southworth is No. 5 all-time at WLU with 1,551 points.

Fellow senior guard Kailee Howe added 14 points and 9 assists to become the fifth player in West Liberty women's history to reach 500 career assists.

Senior post Kiki Simpson added 14 points and snared a game-high 12 rebounds for her second double-double of the season and the 21st of her career.

Janay Bottoms came off the bench to score 10 points, grab 5 rebounds and hand out 4 assists in just 15 minutes of action while Baylen Dyrlund and Brandi Beader just missed hitting double-figures with 9 points each.

Urbana got a game-high 31 points from Danie Shafer - who was 13-of-20 from the foul line - while Stefanie Davis and Jazmyn Haley added 14 and 13 points in a losing cause.

The Lady Hilltoppers close out their pre-Thanksgiving schedule on Wednesday with a 2 p.m. non-conference game at Slippery Rock (Pa.).
