     Kathy Shypulski, one of Dakota basketball players over the past few years, endowed a scholarship for the women's basketball program.

     She, along with her parents, Jerry and Ann Shypulski of Tracy, Minn., were present on Oct. 27 to present the endowment to Dr. Tom Gioglio, DSU's athletic director, and her former coaches, Jeff Dittman and Dr. Judy Dittman.

     Shypulski helped DSU to two straight NAIA National Women's Tournament appearances in 2000 and 2001, where they had respective Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen finishes in Sioux City.

     While helping her fellow Lady T's to their goals, Shypulski was also a first-team all-conference selection twice, an honorable-mention All-American in 2000 and a second-team All-American recipient in 2001.  Shypulski was a two-time Academic All-American, tabbed in both her junior and senior years.

     By the end of her career, Shypulski's name was listed 32 times in the Lady T's record book.  Among her team accomplishments: third in career scoring with 1,432 points, first in career 3-point field goals, first in career free throw shooting accuracy, third in career assists, third in career 3-point field goal accuracy, fifth in career field goals, and sixth in career free throws. 

     Her career was capped in her senior season by being tabbed the Most Valuable Senior athlete in the Dakota Athletic Conference.
