DONNA FINNIE Head Coach HBU Women s Basketball Staff Donna Finnie currently sits as the winningest coach at the Division I level in HBU women s basketball history. The 2015-16 season was another milestone season for the program: for the third year in a row, the Huskies recorded the highest winning percentage in program history since transitioning to Division I in 2007. The season also marked the highest win total (9) for the program in Southland Conference regular season play. The team has continued to thrive academically under Coach Finnie s guidance, with the team posting their best-ever combined semester PA of 3.65 in the fall of 2015. In Finnie s three years as head coach the Huskies have a near-perfect APR percentage, only losing one point over the course of that time. There were some outstanding individual achievements as well, most notably from senior Anna Strickland, who led the nation in rebounds per game (14.2), and recorded 23 double-doubles, ranking her third nationally. Additionally, In the final game of her career, Anna recorded one of the most dominant performances in Southland Conference history, recording 21 points, 31 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks. Her 31 rebounds were the highest individual game total recorded all season, and the most in a Division I women s game since the 2006-2007 season. No NBA, Men s Division I or Women s Division I player has reached those numbers in all four categories in the last 20 years. Strickland finished the season with an All-Conference selection in addition to an All-Defensive team nod. Her teammate and fellow post player Monet Neal received Honorable Mention All-Southland Honors as well. The 2014-15 Huskies went 15-18 overall and 6-12 in Southland Conference play, earning a berth to their first SLC Tournament. As the eighth seed, HBU began a memorable Cinderella run as it knocked off the fifth seed, fourth seed, and top seed Stephen F. Austin on ESPN3, becoming the first eighth seed to reach the SLC championship game. Before a national crowd, HBU fell to reigning tournament champions, Northwestern State, 58-50, but had seniors Tayler Jefferson and Erin Mcarrachan earn All-Tournament honors. Strickland was named to the Southland All-Defensive Team. In Finnie s first year at the helm of the program in 2013-14, the team made huge strides both on and off the court. The Huskies won 12 games, the most since HBU began the transition to NCAA Division I in 2007. The Huskies also boasted the highest RPI in program history (251); a significant improvement from the 2012-13 campaign. Finnie was named the fifth head coach in program history on April 17, 2013, making history in the process. Finnie became the first international ever to land a head coaching position in NCAA Division I basketball. Prior to becoming the head coach, Finnie served as an assistant coach at HBU for three seasons. During that time, Finnie had primary recruiting responsibilities and was instrumental in recruiting all of the players she inherited on the Huskies roster. Over her first three seasons at the helm, Finnie has spearheaded a recruiting effort that has reloaded the roster. Focusing in Texas and internationally, Finnie has put together a diverse roster that has featured players from Finland, ermany, Australia, Uzbekistan, Ireland and Austria during her tenure. Finnie came to HBU after spending 10 seasons as a national team coach in Scotland. She started as an assistant coach for Arthur Mcuire and then was promoted to head coach when Mcuire retired. She was the head coach from 2003-2010 for the U18 national team and also had a stint coaching the U16 national team. LAUREN TIPPET Asst. Coach JUSTIN JONES Asst. Coach BECCA ALLISON Asst.
