FARGO, N.D.--North Dakota State University head coach Carolyn DeHoff today announced the addition of Alison Prichard as the women's basketball director of operations.
"Hiring Alison is a culmination of a staff that is on the rise. I couldn't be more excited about her vision and commitment for the position and NDSU," said DeHoff.
"Her greatest asset is that she wants to give back to the game of basketball. She possesses both intelligence and an eagerness to learn, what more can you ask for, especially in the director of operations position." |
