Director of Athletics Darron Boatright announced that Head Coach Kristi Bredbenner has signed a contract extension on Friday. Bredbenner’s contract with the program was set to expire after the 2023 season and now has been extended through the 2026 season.
Bredbenner will start her 11th year at the helm for WSU this upcoming season after leading the Shockers to its first American Athletic Conference Championship, and a run to the NCAA Regional Final last season. Bredbenner and the rest of the WSU coaching staff were named the 2021 American Coaching Staff of the year.
During the 2021 season, the Shockers became the winningest team in school history with 41 wins.
