Former Drake University head coach Amy Stephens is in her first season as an assistant coach at Saint Louis University.

Stephens compiled a 151-130 record in nine seasons at Drake. The Bulldogs earned an NCAA Tournament berth in 2007, and the 2011-12 team made the program's fourth WNIT appearance under Stephens' guidance. The 2007-08 Drake squad was 23-11 and captured the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title.

Stephens came to Drake after one year as an assistant coach at Nebraska and eight years as head coach at Nebraska-Kearney, where she assembled a 197-43 ledger and earned a master's degree. The 1991 Nebraska graduate carries a 17-year career mark of 348-173. Stephens also spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Iowa State, one season as an assistant coach at Omaha (Neb.) South High School and one year as a student assistant coach at Nebraska.

A Big 8 first-team All-Conference selection and Kodak All-District choice in 1989, Stephens ranks third in points and steals and fourth in assists and 3-point field goals on the Nebraska career charts. She was a member of the 1989 U.S. National Team and played professionally in the Women's Basketball League in Germany.

"Amy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as a successful head coach," head coach Lisa Stone said. "She has done it all in women's basketball as a player and as a coach. Amy has tremendous drive and vision and is a great teacher of the game. She is well connected in the Midwest and will be an asset in recruiting quality student-athletes.
