President Jim Gash and Incoming Director of Athletics Tanner Gardner welcomed Katie Faulkner, incoming Pepperdine Women’s Basketball head coach, to Pepperdine on April 17. Both Gash and Gardner said they couldn’t be more excited for the future of the Women’s Basketball program.
Faulkner has 10 years of experience coaching collegiate basketball — eight of which were at the Division I level as she was previously an assistant coach for Oregon State University and associate head coach for the University of Washington.
“She [Faulkner] declared Pepperdine will be an elite Women’s Basketball program,” Gardner said.
