WASHINGTON, D.C. - District of Columbia natives Eboni Tyler (Virginia State '04) and Erin Hawkins (Morgan State '11) have been named Director of Operations and Assistant Director of Operations, respectively, for the George Washington University women's basketball program.


"Eboni and Erin are excellent additions who bring a level or professionalism and relatable experience to our staff," said Head Coach Mike Bozeman. "Eboni's organizational skills and experiences working with the Washington Mystics and Wizards are going to be invaluable, while Erin is a former player who will offer that type of perspective and act as a liaison between our student-athletes and coaching staff."

Tyler's responsibilities will include team travel logistics, equipment management and game and practice scheduling, as well as coordinating the team's efforts with academic support, compliance, marketing, facilities and community service and assisting Coach Bozeman with budget management. Hawkins will oversee film logistics, breakdown and exchange, along with oversight of the team's managers and supply inventory.

Tyler most recently served as guest services manager for District-based Monumental Sports & Entertainment and the professional basketball franchises Washington Wizards and Washington Mystics. She served in her role as guest services manager for the Mystics since 2006 and added duties as guest services specialist with the Wizards in June 2010.

Tyler, the daughter of longtime Howard women's basketball coach Sanya Tyler, received her bachelor's degree in sports marketing from Virginia State in 2004.

Hawkins helped Morgan State to 17 victories in each of her three collegiate seasons with the Lady Bears from 2008-11, including the program's first-ever Division I postseason appearance with a trip to the Postseason WNIT as a senior last March. After beginning her career at Richmond in 2006, she went on to total 886 points, 131 three-point field goals, 282 rebounds, 222 assists and 135 steals in 116 collegiate games.
