Terri Williams-Flournoy is now in her sixth season at the helm of the Georgetown women's basketball team. Williams-Flournoy took over the program on Aug. 27, 2004, becoming just the sixth women's basketball head coach in Georgetown history. Additionally, she signed a contract extension in August, 2008. Returning to GU was a homecoming for Williams-Flournoy as she began her collegiate coaching career as an assistant coach with the Hoyas in 1992. The stint lasted until 1996 when she moved on to the University of Georgia. Last season, Williams-Flournoy led the Hoyas to a 20-14 overall record, the program's first 20-win season since 1992-93. The Hoyas had an impressive run through the WNIT advancing to the quarterfinals and going further than any team had advanced in postseason play in the program's history. In the process, GU defeated Winthrop, Wake Forest and Richmond before falling in a heartbreaking loss to Boston College. Georgetown was 7-9 in BIG EAST play earning the No. 10 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament. Senior Karee Houlette earned All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention and participated in the State Farm Three-Point Challenge at the NCAA Men's Final Four. Williams-Flournoy had success leading the well-rounded squad to a number of program records including rebounds in a season (1,312), three-point field goals in a season (196) and fewest points allowed (60.8 ppg). Williams-Flournoy put together a 12-year record of success as an assistant coach at Georgetown, Georgia (1996-2002) and Southwest Missouri State (2002-04) posting a record of 251-116. She has been a part of three teams that have made nine NCAA Tournament appearances including a Final Four (1999) and two regional finals appearances (1997, 2000) with Georgia, and Georgetown's Sweet 16 run in 1993. During her two seasons at Southwest Missouri State (now known as Missouri State University), Williams-Flournoy worked with head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson and was a part of two vstraight NCAA Tournaments and two consecutive Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championships. The Southwest Missouri State team finished the 2003-04 season with a 28-4 record and won the regular-season Missouri Valley Conference Championship. At Georgia, Williams-Flournoy was recruiting coordinator for the program during a time when Georgia made six-straight NCAA Tournament appearances under head coach Andy Landers. During Williams-Flournoy's tenure, the Bulldogs won Southeastern Conference titles in 1997 and 2000, the SEC tournament in 2001 and produced seven current WNBA players. Williams-Flournoy's four-year stint at Georgetown as an assistant saw the Hoyas achieve great success in her first season (1992-93), as Georgetown earned a BIG EAST Championship and its first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament, finishing the year with a 23-7 overall mark, advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. Williams-Flournoy was responsible for all aspects of recruiting and scouting along with conditioning, game planning and academic monitoring. A 1991 graduate of Penn State University with a degree in business management, Williams-Flournoy was a four-year letterwinning basketball player for the Lady Lions under former coach Rene Portland. Penn State won the Atlantic 10 Conference championship in each of Williams-Flournoy's last two seasons as a player and was a participant in the NCAA Tournament in three of Williams-Flournoy's four seasons. In 1988, 1990 and 1991 Williams-Flournoy and the Lady Lions advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament and in 1991, Penn State was ranked No. 1 in the country.
