NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

05/25/2010 - University Park, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Penn State head women's basketball coach Coquese Washington has signed a two-year contract extension through the 2013-14 season.

Washington led the Lady Lions to their best finish in five years last season with a postseason berth in the WNIT and 17 overall wins, including eight conference victories.

"We are very pleased with the progress that our women's basketball program has made under Coquese," Penn State director of athletics Tim Curley said. "With the return to the postseason for the first time in five years and back-to-back nationally-ranked recruiting classes, Coquese has established a solid foundation to put Lady Lion basketball back on the track to national prominence."

She became just the fifth head coach in the history of the program in April of 2007, replacing Renee Portland after 27 years on the job.
