Misc. Information

Head coach Tracy Wyatt Raban takes over from Steve Harold in 2007-08. Tracy has big shoes to fill. In Harold's 12 seasons, he produced eight consecutive 20+ winning seasons and made six NCAA appearances; three trips to the Sweet 16, one Elite 8, and one to the semi-finals while compiling a sterling .710 winning percentage. A former Glenville State star from 2001-2004, this will be Tracy's first head collegiate coaching position having come most recently from the high school ranks (Graham High School, Bluefield, KY) where she guided her team to three regular season and one regional championship. In 2006-07, the Lady Pioneers produced their second consecutive 30+ winning season (33-3) and advanced to the Elite 8 of the NCAA tourney before losing to UC San Diego.
