5 Coaching Staff June DAUGHERTY Head Coach 10th Year Washington State University Head Coach June Daugherty enters her 10th season with the Cougars, having led the charge toward a new era in WSU women s basketball. Just as she had done at each of her two previous stops, Daugherty, who has coached more than 800 career games, has begun turning around the WSU women s program, leading the Cougars to two-consecutive WNIT appearances in 2014 and 2015, bringing in top-ranked recruiting classes, improving attendance numbers and overseeing student-athletes who place premiums on academics and community service. In her ninth season at the helm of the Cougars, Daugherty guided a youthful team to the school s best start since the season. WSU went 9-2 in nonconference play before entering Pac-12 play and the toughest RPI conference in the country. Under Daugherty s leadership, freshman Borislava Hristova earned All-Pac-12 and Pac-12 All-Freshman Team honors, breaking WSU freshman records in 20-point games, total points, scoring average, field goals made, and free throw percentage. The Cougars finished the season with a record and a 5-13 record in Pac-12 play, finishing ninth with season sweeps of Colorado and Arizona. Daugherty also oversaw the defensive success of WSU s frontline, which tallied a school-record 120 total blocks. The Cougars picked up a top-25 win over No. 25 USC with a decisive victory. Off the court, the Cougars continued to shine in the classroom with four Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mentions in WSU earned national recognition as part of the NCAA s Public Recognition Awards for the academic year. WSU earned the honor for the second-straight season with a multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) score among the top 10 percent of all squads in the country. WSU posted a perfect four-year average score of 1,000 in , and was one of 43 women s basketball teams honored for its accomplishments. WSU, along with Stanford, were the only two Pac-12 Conference schools recognized. Under Daugherty, Washington State has reached the Pac-12 Conference Tournament semifinals two times, 27 student-athletes earned all-academic honors in the last eight years, and five players signed professional contracts to play overseas in the last four summers including Lia Galdeira who was selected No. 19 overall by the Washington Mystics in the 2016 WNBA Draft, the first player drafted in program history. During the campaign, Daugherty hit a personal milestone, earning her 400th career win as the Cougars defeated Utah Feb. 15. Daugherty continued to build on the success of the previous season, as WSU earned a second-consecutive postseason berth for the first time in school history. The WSU women s basketball program earned national recognition, recording one of the biggest wins in program history with a victory over No. 10/8 Maryland, an eventual No. 1 seed and Final Four participant, in Puerto Rico, November 29. During the season, Daugherty led the Cougars to one of the best campaigns in program history, earning a trip to the WNIT, the program s first postseason appearance since 1991, and posted 17 wins, the most since WSU also notched four wins over ranked teams, including one on the road against No. 10 Nebraska and went on to post nine conference wins for the first time since Guards Lia Galdeira and Tia Presley both earned spots on the All-Pac-12 Team, becoming the first pair of Cougar teammates to earn all-conference honors in the same season in program history. The Cougars received some national recognition late in the year, receiving votes in the Top- 25 USA Today Coaches Poll following their Pac-12 Tournament run, becoming the first WSU team to be mentioned in a poll since the season. In , Daugherty led a team that featured six freshmen and three sophomores to the Pac-12 Conference Tournament quarterfinals for the second straight season, beating Arizona State in the opening round before falling to top-seeded Stanford. The Cougars improved three spots in the conference standings from a season ago, finishing eighth. WSU produced some notable wins while playing one of the toughest schedules in the country, beating No. 20 Ohio State, posting a road victory over regional rival Gonzaga and sweeping the season series with Arizona State. The Cougars finished the year with a program record for blocks in a season with 114. Also under Daugherty s guidance in , the Cougars backcourt received recognition from the conference as Lia Galdeira, the second-leading freshman scorer in the country and three-time Pac-12 Freshman of the Week winner, earned a number of All-Pac-12 accolades as a freshman after pacing the Cougars in scoring, rebounding, steals and minutes. Sophomore point guard Tia Presley also earned all-conference honors despite being limited to seven conference games due to injury. Daugherty also saw center Carly Noyes cap off her impressive career by becoming the school s all-time leader in blocked shots, games played and career starts. The campaign saw Daugherty lead the Cougars to one of the most successful seasons in program history while playing one of the toughest schedules in the country (No. 27). WSU posted the most wins since , recording 13 overall victories and the second double-digit win season under Daugherty while improving their final RPI by 50 spots from the season prior. The Cougars saved its best for last, beating UCLA the final weekend of the regular season before posting the program s inaugural wins at the conference tournament. WSU knocked off Oregon State and USC in the first two rounds to advance to the nationally-televised semifinal against California held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Additionally, Daugherty led the Cougs to the program s inaugural win over a Big Ten Conference opponent (Wisconsin) and the first win over a Big East Conference opponent (Marquette) in over 20 years.
