SAINT MARY’S COLLEGE WELCOMES NEW BASKETBALL COACH
NOTRE DAME, Ind.—A new head basketball coach will
take the court at
Saint Mary’s this fall. She is Jennifer Henley, formerly the head
women’s basketball coach at Mount Union College in Alliance, Ohio.
“Coach Henley brings extensive experience, energy, integrity and
passion
for basketball to Saint Mary’s,” says Athletic Director Lynn
Kachmarik.
“My goal is to build one of the strongest
Division III staffs in the
country, and Coach Henley was hired with that in mind.”
Henley earned bachelor’s degrees in both sport management
and
communication arts from Ohio Northern University in 1997. She also holds
a master’s degree in athletic administration from Loras College.
Henley aims to take the Saint Mary’s basketball program
to the top of
the MIAA. “My goals for excellence on the court and in the classroom
are
a great match with the goals of the athletic department at Saint
Mary’s,” says Henley.
