Starting 96 of UW-Oshkosh’s 108 men’s basketball games from 1987-90, Mark Ziebell earned a pair of All-WIAC First Team awards and one all-league honorable mention citation to become one of the best players in UW-Oshkosh history.

The Oshkosh North High School graduate scored 1,797 points, including 182 3-point baskets, as a Titan to rank fourth in UW-Oshkosh and 18th in WIAC archives. He also ranks 10th in UW-Oshkosh history with 654 career rebounds.

Ziebell, a forward, received All-WIAC honorable mention recognition in 1988 after averaging 18.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. The following year he collected All-WIAC First Team accolades by averaging a team-leading 21.1 points and 7.2 rebounds. In 1990, Ziebell averaged 16.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists to receive his second straight All-WIAC First Team citation.

One of Ziebell’s finest UW-Oshkosh moments came during the 1988-89 season, when he scored 34 points and grabbed 14 rebounds – both career bests – during a 102-91 win over eventual NCAA Division III champion UW-Whitewater.

Ziebell, who was among 25 players selected to UW-Oshkosh’s All-Century Team in 1998, helped the Titans reach the NAIA District 14 Tournament in 1987, 1989 and 1990.

Ziebell resides in Neenah and is beginning his sixth year as a physical education teacher at Fond du Lac High School. He previously served as the head boys’ basketball coach at St. Mary Catholic, Green Bay Southwest and Fond du Lac high schools during his 27 years as an educator.
