Emory Athletics, March 13, 2018

Emory University Athletics Director Dr. Michael Vienna has announced Misha Jackson’s appointment as head women's basketball coach. Jackson was named the Eagles' Interim Head Coach in mid-October following the resignation of Christy Thomaskutty, who served in that capacity for 14 years.

Under Jackson's guidance, the 2017-18 edition of Emory women's basketball finished with an overall record of 13-12.  Picked to finish seventh in the University Athletic Association Coaches Pre-Season Poll, the Eagles posted a fifth-place effort in the league standings with a 7-7 ledger, with the victory total the program's highest since 2013 and tying the school's third-highest mark over the past 18 campaigns. Emory won a total of seven true road games during the course of the campaign, the best showing in that category since 2012-13 when that squad went 8-2 on enemy courts.

Under her tutelage, Emory had three representatives on the All-University Athletic Association Team. Junior Ashley Oldshue landed her second straight first-team nod while classmate Azzairia Jackson-Sherrod was selected to the second team.  Sophomore Erin Lindahl rounded out the trio with an honorable-mention nod.
