- Lizzie Schiel (William and Mary, 2006)

After a successful playing career at the College from 2002-06, Lizzie Schiel returns to William and Mary and begins her first year as an assistant coach.

While Schiel is instrumental in all aspects of the Tribe program, her primary responsibilities include assisting with the development of the guards, scouting opponents and recruiting. Additionally, she oversees the strength and conditioning program, and assists with the coordination of marketing efforts.

A four-year letterwinner with the Tribe, Schiel established herself as one of the top guards in the program’s history and finished her career ranked among W&M’s top 10 in six categories. An outstanding long-range shooter, she ranked fourth all-time in three-point field goals made (154) and in three-point shooting percentage (.333). Her best season came as a senior when she averaged 9.8 ppg and 4.0 rpg. Her 60 three-pointers that year nearly set a single-season school record, while she connected on 39.7 percent of her attempts from beyond the arc.

Following her graduation from the College in 2006, Schiel worked in marketing for Oppenheimer Funds in Manhattan. A native of Wayne, Pa., she graduated from W&M with degrees in marketing and art.

Schiel’s older brother, Andrew, played basketball at Amherst College and was a first-team All-American.
