Suzie Glazer Burt Head Drake University Women’s Basketball Coach Allison Pohlman, announced an update to her coaching staff Tuesday, June 1 as Whitney Moia has been hired as an assistant coach.
Moia’s hire comes after last month when Pohlman announced assistant coach Nicci Hays Fort and director of basketball operations Cortni Rush would return along with the hire of assistant coach Kayla Karius.
Moia joins Drake after spending two seasons as a graduate assistant at Missouri Western State University. Prior Missouri Western, she played four seasons at Mid-America Nazarene University. Moia, a forward, received Heart of America Athletic All-Conference honors three times in her career with the Pioneers. During the 2018-19 season, she was named the Heart of America Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year. She was a member of the 2016 Mid-America Nazarene team that captured the 2016 NAIA National Championship.
“Whitney is a compassionate and caring coach,” Pohlman said. “She brings a back to the basket perspective, understands how to connect and make student-athletes better and is a tireless worker. Whitney has an infectious personality and we’re ecstatic to have her at Drake. She is a great fit for our program!”
