There is a new staff member on the school web site. Her name is Michaela Porter. She is a Pittsburgher who played at Appalachian State. It appears this is her initial coaching job as she has been playing overseas the last two years.

With Vanessa Abel moving to St. John’s who will handle the defensive preparation, strategy and in-game coaching?

Vanessa’s job is still open. Michela Porter is listed on the website as the last assistant. I presume the final coach opening with be the new top assistant.
