Head Coach

DeUnna Hendrix played for four years at Richmond, captaining the Spiders to a pair of 23-win seasons, the semifinal of the 2004 Women's National Invitation Tournament, and the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance in 14 years in 2005. Graduating in 2007, she spent four years as an assistant coach at Jacksonville, helping the Dolphins to three Atlantic Sun championship games. She also played for the Jacksonville Cougars of the Women's Blue Chip Basketball League in summer 2008.

In summer 2011, Hendrix became an assistant coach at High Point University, and in her lone year as an assistant she helped guide the program to a 20-13 record and a spot in the 2012 Women's National Invitation Tournament. In May 2012 she was named the 9th head coach in HPU history. In her five seasons, Hendrix has led the Panthers to another WNIT (in 2014), set a program Division I record with 22 wins in 2013-14, and led the team to back-to-back Big South Championship Game appearances in 2014 and 2015. She has coached two conference players of the year (Stacia Robertson in 2015 and Emma Bockrath in 2017) and a Defensive Player of the Year (Cheyenne Parker in 2013). As of the end of the 2016-17 season, Hendrix has a 103-84 overall record. She is 74-40 in Big South play.[4]
