The Georgia Southern women’s basketball team named Anita Howard as the new head coach Wednesday morning.
Howard, a 2003 Armstrong State University graduate, coached three seasons at Columbus State where she accumulated an overall 45-18 conference record, two NCAA Division II Championship titles, and an Elite Eight appearance.
Before coaching at Columbus State, she coached at Livingstone College, a private HBCU in North Carolina, and Salem College, a small liberal arts women’s college in North Carolina.
She led huge program turnarounds at both schools. She led CSU to a 31-2 record and the Peach Belt title in her first season, and led Livingstone College to 23 wins, which is the longest winning streak in HBCU women’s basketball history.
