Emry Tsitouris was named head women's basketball coach in the spring of 2022.

Tsitouris spent two seasons at Catawba College as an assistant coach.  The Indians reached back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, appeared in the NCAA Semifinals for the first-time in program history, and developed several All-SAC selections, including the SAC Defensive Player of the Year.

While at Catawba, she developed her recruiting prowess by identifying and attracting top talent to the program, monitored and assisted student-athletes’ academic performances, prepared and executed all recruiting visits, and assisted with game scheduling.  She was also responsible for fundraising, creating camp content and promotions as well as handling the logistics of meals and travel for road contests, and was the head of their social media presence. 

Prior to joining Catawba in 2020, she served as a Graduate Assistant Coach at Wingate from 2018 to the spring of 2020 where she performed a majority of the aforementioned duties and worked closely with the guards and post players on the team.  During her stint at Wingate, Tsitouris helped lead the Bulldogs to a second place SAC finish in 2019, was the tournament runner-up, as well as an NCAA Semifinalist.

With her strength in player development, she guided and developed several Bulldogs to All-SAC honors and numerous career accolades.

During her playing career, she was a standout, playing three seasons at USC Aiken and closing out her career at Belmont Abbey.  During her first year with the Pacers, she was selected the Peach Belt Freshman of the Year and was a Third Team All-Conference selection.  In her final season with the Crusaders, she was named a Conference Carolinas Second Team All-Conference honoree.

Tsitouris graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communication and Management in 2018 and later obtained her Master of Arts in Sports Management in 2020.
