GSW women’s basketball head coach, Hana Haden, wins WBCA Coach of the Year
GSW's first-year head coach continues to impress
AMERICUS, GA – It’s been no secret that Georgia Southwestern’s women’s basketball team has made history this season.
The Lady Canes currently have the best record in program history (29-3), won the Peach Belt Conference Tournament for the second straight year, and for the first time ever will be competing in the Elite Eight in the NCAA Division II tournament.
And it’s all thanks to first-year head coach, Hana Haden, for making it all happen, and her efforts have not gone unnoticed.
On Thursday, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association announced Haden as the 2024 Division II Coach of the Year.
“The WBCA is proud to announce Hana Haden as the 2024 recipient of the Pat Summitt Trophy presented to the WBCA NCAA Division II Coach of the Year,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle M. Donehew. “Hana was chosen for this honor after leading her team to an exceptional season. The WBCA recognizes and applauds her leadership example that can be seen in her student-athletes, institution and community.”
Job is not finished yet, however.
Haden and the Lady Canes have two more teams to get past on their way to the National Championship, starting Monday as they will face Minnesota State at 9:30pm.
