Molly Brennan begins her third season as the assistant coach for the Hilltopper women’s basketball team. In her first year at St. Edward’s, she helped turn around the program in the win-loss column, but also in recruiting, as her diligence has helped elevate the St. Edward’s name across the country.
Brennan previously spent two seasons at the University of Pittsburgh–Bradford as head coach. Brennan led the Panthers to a 26-26 record and two appearances in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Tournament. During her tenure at UPB, four players were selected to the all-conference team.
Prior to Pittsburgh–Bradford, Brennan spent four years at SUNY Potsdam as assistant coach. She helped the team compile a 52-57 overall record and four-straight appearances in the SUNYAC Tournament. In 2008–2009, the Bears broke the school record for wins in a season with 17. She worked closely with the team’s post players, and she coached three all-conference performers.
Brennan’s playing experience consisted of four years at Ithaca College. During her four years, the Bombers captured two Empire 8 Conference championships and appeared in three NCAA Division III national tournaments.
Brennan received her bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Coaching from Ithaca in 2006. She earned a Master of Education with a focus in Organizational Leadership from SUNY Potsdam in 2009.
