Head Coach Robyn Scherr and the University of Evansville women’s basketball program have elevated Molly Davis from Graduate Assistant to Assistant Coach, it was announced Monday morning. Davis joined the program as a Graduate Assistant ahead of the 2024-25 season after an illustrious collegiate playing career at Central Michigan and Iowa.
“I am very excited to announce that Molly Davis has been promoted to Assistant Coach for our program,” said Scherr. “She has done a tremendous job as our Graduate Assistant, and it was my goal after last season to find a way to keep her with our program. She is a hard worker, and her humility and willingness to do whatever it takes to help our program has impressed me tremendously. She has a great mind for the game and has provided a lot of valuable input in her time with us. I am thrilled that we can keep her here at UE!”
“I’m extremely thankful to Coach Robyn for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to continue to grow within this program,” said Davis. “I’m excited to keep investing in our team, our culture, and the daily work it takes to build something special!”
As a player, Davis played an integral role in helping Iowa to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA National Championship Game. In two seasons with the Hawkeyes, Davis appeared in 69 games while starting 29 games, including 27 starts in 2023-24. As a fifth-year senior, Davis scored 5.9 PPG with 3.0 assists per game, helping the Hawkeyes to a 34-5 record and a second consecutive NCAA National Championship Game appearance.
Prior to her time in Iowa City, Davis was a three-time All-MAC selection at Central Michigan. Across three seasons with the Chippewas, she started all 81 games she appeared in, scoring 17.8 PPG with 4.3 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game. In 2020-21, Davis posted a career-best 20.8 PPG (23rd in the country) on 49% shooting from the field while leading the Chippewas to a MAC Tournament title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. As a freshman in 2019-20, Davis helped Central Michigan to a MAC regular season championship.
