Colorado Christian University Athletics has named Corey Laster as the new Head Women’s Basketball Coach on April 20th, 2016.
Laster will be returning to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference as the head coach for CCU after two years of being at the helm of Gordon College’s Women’s Basketball program in Wenham, MA.
“Coach Laster brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to CCU women’s team to help continue the success on and off the court,” said Athletic Director Darren Richie. “He is a perfect fit for CCU’s mission and values as we lead and mentor student-athletes. His ability to recruit and previous coaching experience in the RMAC will be a huge asset to our program.”
Corey Laster has been a collegiate coach for the last 16 years, dating back to 2000 where he started his career at his alma mater, Taylor University (NAIA) in Indiana. Laster ran a successful program at Taylor from 00′-03′ (51-31). After Taylor University, Corey moved up to the NCAA DII level where he became an assistant coach for Saint Michaels College in Vermont from 03′-05′. Coach Laster was then able to take over his own program in the NCAA DIII level at Defiance College in Ohio from 05′-07′.
From 07′-10′ Corey Laster took the assistant coaching position at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA, a NCAA DI level university. Wanting to become a head coach once again, Laster claimed the UCCS Women’s Basketball program from 10′-14′. Coach Laster was a part of the RMAC for four years building a strong program for the Mountain Lions. His experience in this conference, and knowing what it takes to be a successful team is valuable for Colorado Christian.
