While at McPherson, Hans worked with Coach Jessica Biegert to compile a 77-28 record during her time there. The Bulldogs won the KCAC's regular-season championship with a 12-0 record and placed second in the KCAC postseason tournament. Following a move to Colorado, Hans was asked to come back to McPherson as the interim coach at the NAIA National Tournament, which was the school's first national appearance.
