Colgate women’s basketball coach Ganiyat Adeduntan has been hired to lead George Washington’s women’s basketball program, a source briefed on the matter said Thursday.
Adeduntan spent four seasons on Jenn Rizzotti’s GW staff from 2017 to 2021 before being named Colgate’s head coach. At Colgate, Adeduntan took the program from 6-24 in her first season (2021-22) to 23-9 this past season. Prior to her arrival, the Raiders had only won double-digit games in three of the previous 11 seasons. They finished with at least 15 wins in three of her four years.
George Washington last made it to the NCAA Tournament in 2018, but has made it to the Sweet 16 four times and the Elite Eight once (1997).
