Accomplishments
As a player, I had the opportunity to help our team participate in two NCAA tournament appearances, become a D. III All-American, as well as continuing to hold the All-Time Record Assists Record with 606 established back in 1988.
As head coach, I had the opportunity to guide our program to three NCAA tournament appearances and record over 400 career wins.
Although, my proudest moment comes from the success of my student-athletes in the classroom. I have been the head coach of three different programs. Each of these programs have achieved Top 25 recognition for their team GPA (some twice) by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
