Women's Basketball Southern Conference

Glenney Hired As Furman Assistant Coach

GREENVILLE, South Carolina -- Former Clemson roundballer Marci Glenney has
accepted a position as assistant women's basketball coach at Furman, head
coach Sam Dixon announced on August 5.

Glenney, whose hometown is Lisbon, Conn., played point guard for two years
at UConn before transferring to Clemson. In 2000-01, she was the fourth
leading scorer on the Lady Tiger team, playing in all but six games. As a
senior (2001-02), Glenney played four positions, and was third on the
squad with a 9.7 points per game average. Glenney also averaged 4.0
rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, and was third on the team with 41
steals.

A native of Guadalajara, Mexico, Glenney graduated from Clemson this spring
with a degree in marketing. She was named third-team All ACC last year,
while helping the Lady Tigers to a 17-12 overall record and 9-7 mark in
league play.

A Connecticut USA Today Player of the Year as a prepster, Glenney was
described by Davis as the Tigers' most versatile player. "She does
everything pretty well. A fierce competitor, the intensity level at which
Marci plays is contagious to her teammates."

"A big part of the reason that I wanted Marci on my staff was her ability
to play the game with a great understanding of what was going on and her
tremendous work ethic and spirit which really led the Clemson team," said
Dixon. "Marci was a team captain and had the rare combination of being
able to lead with words and action. She definitely walked her talk. It is
an added bonus that she is familiar with me and will understand completely
a lot of what we are going to do. She has seen me in all different
situations and I thought it was important that someone on my staff know me
so well."

August 5 was Glenney's first official day on the Furman staff.
