GREENSBORO, North Carolina – Head coach Tarrell Robinson of the North Carolina A&T women’s basketball team announced the hiring of assistant coach Dominque Hudson on Monday.

Hudson spent the last three seasons at Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, N.C. as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.

“It brings me great pleasure and excitement to add Domi
nique to our coaching staff,” Robinson stated. “Although she has only been in this profession for three years, she has proven to be an up and coming rising star. She was one of the best high school players (male or female) to play basketball in the state of North Carolina and one of the best in Gardner Webb history.”

Hudson played under head coach Rick Reeves at Gardner-Webb from 2007-11, where she helped lead the Runnin’ Bulldogs to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2010-11 and their first-ever WNIT appearance in 2009-10.

During her career at GWU, Hudson received numerous accolades and was a two-time All-Big South first-team selection and a three-time Big South All-Tournament team honoree. In 2011 she was named the Big South Tournament MVP. She still remains GWU’s all-time leader in assists (579) and is fifth in scoring (1,407 points).

"I'm honored to be a part of Coach Robinson’s staff,” Hudson said. “The Lady Aggies have a family atmosphere that made it very easy for me to transition here after spending seven years at Gardner-Webb University. Regarding his coaching skills and personality, coach Robinson is truly one of the best in the business, and I look forward to learning from him."

She ranks first in GWU’s career record book in games played (129), minutes played (3,545) and free throws made (419). Hudson is second in GWU history in most games started (102), third in field goals made (443) and fifth in three-pointers made (102).

“Dominique brings a competitive spirit and winning mentality to our program,” said Robinson. “Already familiar with recruiting in the state of North Carolina, Dominique will use her recruiting ties to help us lure more of our top in-state recruits to Aggieland. She will also assist with the development of our athletes on and off the court. Dominique was involved with a lot of leadership building at Gardener Webb. I feel she will be able to help our student-athletes continue to develop in that area. This is an exciting hire for our program. I think her energy and excitement for this sport will be infectious to us all.”
