RWU gets new women's hoops coach

By Sarah Bourbeau

BRISTOL, RI __ Kelly Thompson, former Assistant Coach at Stonehill College, accepted the position of Head Coach for Roger Williams University’s Women’s Basketball team.

We are thrilled to have Kelly on board with us.... Kelly comes to Roger Williams with great coaching experience, both as an assistant at a top Division II program and at the Division III level. -- Acting Athletic Director Dave Kemmy.


Thompson comes to Roger Williams with experience already under her belt. She has worked as Assistant Coach for Stonehill College’s women’s basketball team for five years. She has practice with recruitment, scouting, conditioning, and fundraising. Her experience as Assistant Coach served as a great tool for her arrival at Roger Williams.



Her coaching career first began at Maine Maritime Academy. There she spent one year as Assistant Coach of the Women’s Basketball team.

Her hands on coaching experience and first hand experience as a player paves the way for Thompson’s expected successful season.
