Assistant coach DeUnna Hendrix has been promoted to head coach of the High Point University women’s basketball team. Hendrix played a large role in last year’s success as High Point had its second 20-win season since moving up to NCAA Div. I in 1999-2000. The Panthers’ 13 Big South wins were most in team history and HPU made it to the Big South tournament final for the third time. The team won a program-record nine games in a row in January. She replaces Jennifer Hoover, who left HPU to become head coach at Wake Forest University.
