North Florida women’s basketball proudly announces the addition of Stacey Ungashick as associate head coach to the Osprey staff, as announced by head coach Erika Lambert on Friday afternoon. “Stacey and I have known each other for over a decade. I got an inside look at the start of her Ohio Wesleyan program when my family lived in Columbus in 2013. Over the years, I witnessed her work hard to return OWU Basketball to a place of national prominence,” said Lambert. “I hired Stacey because she’s a builder. She knows how to grow a program. She’s especially skilled in the sports psychology space that is so important to building our program from a culture and leadership standpoint.” “On the court, Stacey will work with our guards and focus on the defensive side of the ball. Off the court, she will oversee academics, fundraising and alumni relations, and community service,” Lambert continued. “Stacey will implement some new programming for our players from a mental training and leadership perspective. She will be a tremendous mentor to our student-athletes. Stacey played college ball in the Sunshine State and we’re happy to welcome her back!” Ungashick Lobdell joins the UNF coaching staff after serving as the head coach at Ohio Wesleyan over the past 14 seasons from 2011-25 with a 189-175 (.519) overall record and a 95-31 (.754) mark over the past five seasons.
