EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern women's basketball has added Jacinda Dunbar as its director of operations, head coach Joe McKeown announced.
Â
"We are really excited to have Jacinda as part of our Wildcat staff," said McKeown. "She brings great experience both as a coach and as an administrator and she will have a huge impact as we transition into our new facility. Coming from great academic schools such as Yale and Wesleyan, she understands the experience of being a student-athlete at this level."
Â
Dunbar comes to Chicago's Big Ten Team after spending three years as an assistant coach for Yale's women's basketball team, where she worked under former NU coach Allison Guth.
Â
While working for the Bulldogs, she helped lead the team to a program-record 19-win season.
Â
Prior to Yale, Dunbar worked as an assistant coach at Wesleyan and at Southern Connecticut State.
Â
A team captain as a collegian for Quinnipiac, Dunbar averaged nearly 10 points per game in her sophomore and junior seasons. She earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Quinnipiac and then a master's in liberal studies from Wesleyan.
