Creighton Head Coach Krista Wood Inducted Into Omaha Athletics Hall of Fame

Creighton head coach Krista Wood was inducted into the Omaha Athletics Hall of Fame on Thursday.

Wood, nee Unger, was one of three former student-athletes enshrined by their alma mater as part of the induction Class of 2022.

A star pitcher for the Mavs from 1999-2003, Wood graduated as the program’s winningest pitcher. She collected a career record of 106-27 during her tenure and was a catalyst to the program’s 2001 Division II national championship. She earned all-tournament team honors that same year after a postseason performance that included a complete game two-hitter in a shutout win in the national championship game.

Twice an all-conference selection during her playing career, Wood stands second in program history with 530 career strikeouts. Her career statistics also include 43 career shutouts and a lifetime 1.25 ERA.

Thursday’s induction moves the Omaha Hall of Fame to 122 members. Wood is the 14th Mavs softball player to be inducted and the first since 2015.
