The first Lycoming women's basketball player to lead her team in assists in all four years of her career, Jennifer Reimer has spent nearly her whole life giving to the game of basketball. A four-year letterwinner and starter, Reimer posted 374 assists in her career, the second-most in program history, helping the Warriors to two winning seasons. The point guard from Irwin, Pa., came into her own as a senior under the mentorship of first-year head coach Christen Ditzler, earning the school's Most Outstanding Female Athlete and First Team All-MAC Freedom honors while leading the Warriors in scoring (14.2), assists (5.8) and steals (2.3), helping the team to an appearance in the MAC Championship quarterfinals. The 11th player in program history to reach 300 points in a season (326) that year, her 133 assists that year are still fourth in program history. Nearly 30 years after she last played for the Warriors, Reimer is still 20th in program history in scoring (770), 14th in 3-pointers made (65) and 11th in steals (151).
 
Since graduating Lycoming, Reimer has worked as a women's basketball coach, beginning as a graduate assistant at Ohio Northern University. She served as a head coach for the first time in 1997-98 at Juniata College and has made stops at Mount Union (1998-00), Allegheny (2000-07) before landing at Case Western Reserve Univeristy, where she is in her 16th year. Over the course of those 26 years, she has posted a 325-298 record and is both Allegheny (120) and Case Western Reserve (168)'s all-time wins leader. Her 2011 team had the No. 1-ranked team GPA in the WBCA Top 25 Honor Roll and the 2012 team was second and she has coached a Jostens Trophy Finalist, one All-American, five D3hoops.com All-Region honorees and 33 All-UAA selections.
 
Off the court, Reimer, son, Griffin and partner, Kristie Maravalli, are part of a tight knit family that includes her favorite nephew, Jack Sacriponte. Reimer stays active by playing both golf and running – she has run 10 half-marathons and ran the Cleveland Marathon in 2013. She is an associate professor in the physical education department at Case Western Reserve and she earned a Masters of Education at Bowling Green State University in 1996.
