• 2008-09 - Assistant Coach

Prior to making her way to the First Coast, Boggess spent the past two seasons at Hofstra where she assisted in all aspects of the program, including working with the Pride guards and serving as the recruiting coordinator.

With the Pride, Boggess helped lead the squad to the Colonia Athletic Association tournament each season, including a school-best 26-8 overall record and a spot in the WNIT Quarterfinals in 2006-07. Under her guidance, senior guard Cigi McCollin (second team) and freshman guard Sam Brigham (rookie team) earned conference honors that season.

Boggess joined the Hofstra staff after spending two years as an assistant coach and one year as a graduate assistant at Kennesaw State. During her time with the Owls, she worked with perimeter players, while organizing practice planning, scouting, film breakdown, equipment, budgeting and booster club fundraising. She also assisted in all areas of recruiting and served as individual summer camp director and as assistant director of KSU’s team camp.

Boggess also served as the shooting instructor and the assistant camp director of the Sports City U Basketball Academy in Teals Valley, W.Va. from 1999 through 2005 where she worked with former NBA shooting instructor Jim Clayton. In 2003, Boggess spent time as head coach of the AAU 15-under Piedmont Pride in Piedmont, N.C.

As a student-athlete, Boggess was a four-year starter at Wingate where she averaged 10 points, five rebounds and slightly five assists per game in her career. She was named to the South Atlantic Conference all-rookie team as a freshman and helped lead Wingate to the NCAA Division II Tournament as a sophomore in 2001. Boggess received the Wingate coaches award after her senior season.

A success in the classroom as well as the court, Boggess was named to the conference honor roll in each of her four seasons before receiving her bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in broadcast journalism in 2003.

Boggess was a columnist for the student newspaper, a feature reporter for WUTV and the host of the Bulldog Sports Television Show while at Wingate. In addition, she was a founding member of the Iota Zeta chapter of Alpha Xi Delta, recognized as a member of Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities for her academic achievements and was Wingate's Homecoming Queen in 2003.

Active in the community, Boggess has been an active volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, Bulldog Helping Hands and Choose Children.
