The AnnMarie Gilbert File Hard-working. Compassionate. Dedicated. Just a few words that come to mind when talking about AnnMarie Gilbert. On May 15, 2007, Eastern Michigan University introduced Gilbert as the seventh head women s basketball coach in the history of the program. In her first season in Ypsilanti, Gilbert proved up to her billing. Eastern Michigan posted a overall record and gained a share of the Mid-American Conference West Division Championship with an 11-5 mark. With the division crown, Gilbert became just the fourth first-year head coach in league history to guide her team to a MAC title. Additionally, her 17 wins was an EMU record for most victories by a first-year mentor and also ranks ninth best in conference history for a rookie coach. Gilbert made a statement in her first game, guiding the Eagles to a win over Temple Baptist College, Nov. 11, Her first conference victory occurred just a few months later, when EMU turned in a dominating victory over Northern Illinois University, Jan. 9, Year two was a rebuilding season for Gilbert and crew, as 77 percent of the minutes played came from underclassmen who had at least two more years of eligibility remaining. The third year of the Gilbert era looks to be even brighter with a core of returners and a nationally recognized recruiting class coming to town. This incoming class was ranked as the top in the Mid- American Conference and 59th nationally by Dan Olson s Collegiate Girls Basketball Report.

Coleman notched 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a victory over Western Michigan University, Feb. 12, JAMES HITS FOR 40 POINTS AT BUFFALO AND AGAIN VERSUS TOLEDO: Tavelyn James set the single-game standard for points with 40 in the Eagles victory over the University at Buffalo, Feb. 3, She then followed it up with another 40-point performance in an overtime victory over MAC West Champion Toledo, March 2, 2010, at the Convocation Center. With that prolific total James became the first EMU women s basketball player to score 40 points in a game and just the seventh EMU student-athlete to do so. The last EMU basketball player to eclipse the 40-point plateau was men s basketball point guard Earl Boykins with 45 against Western Michigan University, Feb. 21, 1998, at Bowen Field House. In a span of two minutes midway through the second half against Buffalo, James scored 10 straight Eagle points, connecting on three consecutive baskets and going 3-of-3 from the free throw line. She had 32 points with more than 11 minutes remaining in the game and finished the contest 13-of-22 from the field, including 5-of-11 from long distance and 9-of-11 from the line to give her 40 points, tying her for the 11th-highest single-game point total in the nation that season.
