In that time, she has built NIU into a contender in the Mid- American Conference and has been recognized by her peers as one of the top coaches in the country. In recognition of that fact, Owens has been selected to coach four national teams, spending two years as an assistant before being asked to lead two others, and two professional organizations have selected her to serve on their board of directors. While those accomplishments are impressive, they are not surprising. From her days as a player at Northern Illinois, through the years she has spent working her way up through the coaching ranks, Owens passion for basketball and drive for success has led her to this point. Since taking over, Northern posted its rst winning season in ve years, going 19-12 in 2006-07 and advanced to the semi nals of the 2007 MAC Women s Basketball Tournament. In 2006-07, the Huskies broke several school records, including threepointers made (236) and attempted (639) and NIU set the single-season mark for free throw percentage, hitting 78.9 percent from the charity stripe. The success Owens has achieved has not gone unnoticed, and earning the respect of those in your eld is the highest compliment any coach can receive. In 2008, Owens was named to the Board of Directors of both the Black Coaches Association and Women s Basketball Coaches Association. Owens national reputation has grown during her NIU tenure as she has twice been invited to serve as a coach with USA Basketball, beginning in April of 2006, when she was selected to serve as an assistant to DePaul s Doug Bruno on Team USA s FIBA Americas U18 Championship Team. Owens spent the summer of 2006 in Colorado Springs, Colo. helping lead the red, white and blue to the gold medal. She was back on Team USA s bench in the summer of 2007, this time in Europe, coaching USA Basketball s Women s U19 World Championship Team. As they did the year before, Team USA cruised through the eld and brought home the gold. The powers that be in USA Basketball must have been impressed with what they saw from Owens because in March of 2008, they asked her to become head coach of the 2008 U18 World Championship Team. Owens led Team USA to gold, defeating Argentina, 81-37. Owens has coached some outstanding players during her career, sending four to the WNBA. At Northern Illinois, her most famous pupil was Stephanie Raymond. The 20th overall pick in the 2007 Women s National Basketball Association Draft, Raymond is the rst Huskie in school history drafted by the league. Her selection by the Chicago Sky topped off one of the best seasons by a Huskie in recent memory. Raymond closed out her career at NIU as the school s fth-leading scorer, and set the school record for steals and assists in a game. She also set the school record for free throw percentage in a season (90.1 percent) and career free throw percentage (83.9 percent). Raymond is just one of four players she s help send to the WNBA. During her tenure in South Bend, Owens coaching focus centered on the development of Notre Dame s post players. Her most famous pupil, Ruth Riley (1997-2001), capped off her Irish days as the consensus National Player of the Year (2000-01) and earned All-America status. Riley, Katryna Gaither (1993-97) and Kelley Siemon (1997-2001) were all selected in the WNBA draft upon completion of their Notre Dame careers.
