Britni Mueller is in her fourth season as the head women's basketball coach at Nebraska Wesleyan.
Last season, she improved the Prairie Wolves overall win total and had the most conference victories for a NWU women’s basketball team since 2011. NWU went 4-21 overall and 3-19 in the final year in the GPAC. Eleven of the team’s losses were to teams ranked in the NAIA II Top 25. NWU upset #15 College of Saint Mary to open conference play for the Prairie Wolves first win over a nationally-ranked team since 2011.
In 2014-15 her squad led all of NCAA Division III in team GPA with a combined grade point average of 3.65. NWU picked up two non-conference victories defeating Central College and Lakeland College, to finish 2-3 in non-conference games. Two of those three losses were in overtime. The Prairie Wolves faced seven nationally-ranked opponents in Great Plains Athletic Conference play and finished the season 2-23 overall for the second straight year.
In her first season with the Prairie Wolves, Mueller inherited a young roster with just 15 players and two senior players. She led NWU to a win in the first game of the season, then ended the year on a high note with a 65-64 win over Doane College in the final home game. NWU finished the year 2-23 overall.
Coach Mueller (then Britni Fett) came to Nebraska Wesleyan from Lakeland College, an NCAA Division III school in Plymouth, Wis., where she has served as the assistant women’s basketball coach for two seasons. During the 2012-13 season, she filled in the role of head coach at Lakeland for five games as the head coach was on maternity leave.
While at Lakeland, the team went 30-22 the past two years qualifying for the NAC Conference Tournament each season. She also served as the head women’s golf coach at Lakeland for two seasons.
Mueller, a Plankinton, S.D., native, spent two years as the graduate assistant women’s basketball coach at Concordia University Wisconsin from 2008-10. As an assistant at Concordia, she was part of two conference championship teams, and helped lead the team to an appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2009.
She attended the University of Sioux Falls where she was a member of the women’s basketball program both as a player and student assistant coach. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Sioux Falls in 2008 and completed her Master’s in Business Administration focusing in Management in 2010 at Concordia University Wisconsin.
In September 2016, she was married to Jim Mueller.
