Meet the New Boss

Stony Brook is now in the capable hands of Caroline McCombs, who comes to town after helping 11 of 15 teams reach the NCAA Tournament or WNIT as an assistant coach. Named the head coach by Director of Athletics Shawn Heilbron on June 5, 2014, McCombs most recently spent two seasons as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Auburn, where she helped the Tigers to back-to-back WNIT berths. Her 2012 recruiting class ranked 16th nationally. During her five-year tenure as an assistant coach at Pittsburgh (2005-10), McCombs mentored the Panthers to five straight national postseason berths, including three Big Dances and two Sweet 16s. She also served stints as an assistant at Northwestern (2010-12) and Valparaiso (1999-05). McCombs is responsible for the development of two Associated Press All-Americans (Amy Jaeschke, Northwestern and Shavonte Zellous, Pittsburgh) and three WNBA players (Jaeschke, Zellous and Marlous Nieuwveen, Valparaiso). An accomplished collegiate player, the former guard led Youngstown State to the NCAA Tournament in 1998 and was inducted into the school's Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.
