TIFFIN, Ohio – The Heidelberg University Women's Basketball team is excited to open up their 2026-27 campaign Saturday, Nov. 7 at home against Albion College. The Student Princes look to start a new chapter for the program, building off last year's record. 

THE COACHES

Head Coach Jon Gin enters his first year at the helm of the program. Gin previously spent five years as head coach at Anderson University in Indiana. While leading the Ravens, Gin compiled a record of 70-62, and 46-41 (HCAC). He developed 15 All-Conference honorees, an HCAC Defensive Player of the Year, and two-time HCAC Player of the Year. Prior to Anderson, Gin coached eight years across different levels. 

Joining the staff alongside Gin is assistant coach Morgan Douglass. The Covenant College alum previously coached beside Gin at Anderson University, where she also served as head coach of the women's golf team. After Douglass played four years of basketball for the Covenant Scots, she went on to assist the team for two seasons.

The Student Princes return 9 to the roster, and welcome four new additions to the team. 

Joining the team are freshmen Lauren Jacobs and Cooper McManaway. Cate Reinhart, a sophomore golfer, also joins the squad. Junior transfer from Tiffin University, Bianca Baumgartner joins the Student Princes.
