The Beach Women's Basketball team finds a winner


Long Beach State Women's basketball team has hired Jody Wynn to be its new head coach. Wynn spent the last five years as the senior assistant, recruiting coordinator and head of scouting at USC. She comes to the team with 13 years of collegiate coaching experience under her belt. While at USC, she was in charge of bringing in 4 nationally-ranked recruiting classes. Last year she helped lead USC to its first ever Pac 10 championship game.

Wynn was once the starting point guard for USC during her playing career. She helped lead them to a winning record during her time playing. Wynn was a standout player at Brea Olinda High School, where she guided the Ladycats to three California state championships. Wynn earned CIF Southern Section and Orange County Player of the Year accolades in 1991 and 1992, while also being tabbed a USA Today and Streets & Smith honorable mention All-American.

Coach Wynn is looking to bring that winning attitude to a program that is in need of a turnaround.
