TOM MEGYESI HEAD COACH 11th SEASON AT PURDUE NORTHWEST Tom Megyesi enters his 11th season as the head coach of the Purdue Northwest women s basketball program beginning in 2017-18. He has continued to transform the women s basketball program thanks in part to his high-octane offensive attack. The Hall of Fame coach led the Pride to their sixthstraight 20-win season during the 2016-17 campaign, including their fourth trip in five years to the NAIA Div. II National Championship. Megyesi led the Pride to a 24-9 overall record with an 18-3 record in CCAC play in the 2016-17 season, with senior Cassidy Deno and senior Darien Thompson being named to the All-CCAC team. That wasn t the only honor for Deno, as she was named the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Yeat, an NAIA Scholar-Athlete and received NAIA Second-Team All-American honors.
