Marshall held a press conference on Monday, March 27, to introduce the newly hired women’s basketball coach, Kim Stephens. This hire makes Stephens the eighth head coach in program history.
Coach Stephens led the Glenville State Pioneers to a Division two national championship win last year along with taking them to the quarter finals this year.
Marshall was led by coach Tony Kemper for the last six seasons. Kemper resigned shortly after the season ended and took a job at Central Arkansas after leading the Herd to an overall record of 79-90.
Stephens is a Parkersburg, West Virginia, native and claims that she always wanted to coach basketball like her father once did.
