school earn a trip to the postseason NCCAA
tournament.

2004-05, Weddle guided Oakland City to a 17-12
ledger, the first year the program finished
above .500 in the previous six seasons. The Lady
Oaks capped their season with a third place
NCCAA finish.

campaigns. Weddle is OCU’s fifth all-time

career. He also holds the single season record

Management and a B.S. in Business Education with
a Minor in Psychology and a Vocational Education
Endorsement.
"I am extremely excited to begin working with
the Sycamore women’s basketball program," Weddle
said. "I want to thank coach Wiedie and Ron
Prettyman for allowing me to be apart of this
program, and this community. I have a lot of
respect for what has happened in this program
over the past few years – from watching it take
shape to it becoming a championship caliber
program. It has been a lot of fun to see that
over the years." |
