Her impact was equally felt at UMBC, where she was the Women’s Basketball Assistant Coach/Offensive Coordinator during the 2019-2020 season. She played a key role in improving the Retrievers’ performance, helping the team double their conference wins from the previous season and leading them to a top-three finish in conference field goal percentage.
Rogers also brings with her a wealth of experience from Radford University, where she served as the Women’s Basketball Assistant Coach/Recruiting Coordinator from 2016-2019. Her efforts helped the Highlanders secure two Big South regular-season championships and a tournament championship during her tenure.
