Hofstra University Director of Athletics Rick Cole Jr. announced today that Head Women’s Basketball Coach Krista Kilburn-Steveskey has resigned.
“I am thankful for the opportunity I’ve had to lead the Hofstra Women’s Basketball program over the last 13 years,” stated Kilburn-Steveskey. “I’m very proud of the accomplishments achieved and the student-athletes that have developed as athletes as well as outstanding people within the program. I’m grateful to have worked with wonderful people and coach so many talented student-athletes during my time here. Now, it’s the right time to step away and focus on my family.”
“Krista has been an incredible leader of our women’s basketball program for the past 13 years,” commented Cole. “We thank her immensely for her tireless work on behalf of our student-athletes and our women’s basketball program. She led our program to great heights during her tenure and we are indebted to her for all she has done to be a strong leader and advocate for our women’s basketball student-athletes and how she has represented herself within the Hofstra community.”
Kilburn-Steveskey just concluded her 13th season as the head coach of the Pride. She concludes her Hofstra coaching career with 211 wins and is the all-time winningest coach in Pride women’s basketball history.
Kilburn-Steveskey led Hofstra to five WNIT appearances during her career, including quarterfinal appearances in 2007 and 2016.
The University will begin a national search for the next head coach for the Hofstra Women’s Basketball program.
