Head Coach Nancy Funk

Head coach Nancy Funk (Messiah '76) recently completed her 27th season at the helm of the Blue Jay women's basketball program in 2013. As the winningest coach in Centennial Conference history, Funk has led Johns Hopkins to become a perennial contender for conference and national honors. Funk is the all-time winningest women's basketball coach in school history with a 478-222 (.683) record and an overall record of 604-311 (.660) in her 36 years of collegiate coaching. She ranks among the ten winningest coaches in Division III history with over 600 career victories. Funk was the first head coach in program history to lead the Blue Jays to a winning season, posting a 12-10 record in 1988-89, and is the only head coach in the program with a career record over .500. Hopkins has finished at .500 or above in each of the last 24 seasons. Hopkins had its best season in eight years in 2011-12 as it went 24-5 (.827) en route to winning the conference regular season and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. / Coaching Staff

2014 Outlook

The Blue Jays reached the Conference semifinals last winter and will look to an experienced backcourt in their quest to return to the final four in 2014. Fairey, Tommasi, Conteh and Fleming will share time at guard. McCullagh will step in for the graduated Alex Vassila in the paint. Bush and Fruehan will also see time in the frontcourt, as could Cook. Hopkins is a perennial Centennial challenger and this season should prove no different.
