IRVINE, Calif. -- Former Anteater star Angie Ned returns to her alma mater to assume the role of Director of Women's Basketball Operations.
Ned comes to UCI after serving as a women's basketball assistant coach at Cal Baptist last season where the Lancers ended the year in the PacWest Tournament Championship game. She was assistant varsity girls' basketball coach at her alma mater, Perris High School, for three years before joining the collegiate ranks. While coaching at Perris, the Panthers were second in the Sunbelt League and qualified for the CIF playoffs all three years. Three of her players went on to receive basketball scholarships.
"Angie will be a tremendous addition to our staff," UCI head coach Doug Oliver said. "Her knowledge of the game and work ethic will be invaluable."
Ned holds the UCI record for career field goals attempted (1,329) and is ranked tied for fifth in career scoring (1,333), third in three-pointers attempted (389) and sixth in field goals made (485), free throw percentage (.755) and three pointers made (113) all-time. She set a new UCI season record with 479 field goals attempted in 2006-07.
She was a three-time All-Big West Conference selection, earning first-team All-Big West distinction as a junior. She was the first player to be honored as the Big West Defensive Player of the Year twice. She scored a career-high 37 points in a win over Loyola Marymount in 2007, the most points by a Big West player that year. She was named Big West Player of the Week twice over her four year career.
Ned graduated with a degree in sociology in 2007.
She played professionally CBV Binnenland (Holland) of the Dutch Premier League. She averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 2.0 assists per game in an injury-shortened season before continuing her pro career in Portugal. With GD ESSA, Ned was the team's second-leading scorer (19.2 points a game) and also averaged 7.8 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.8 assists.
