LARRY
■■■
475-173 / 21 Seasons Overall 426-142/ 18 Seasons at Old Dominion Old Dominion '77

She is no stranger to the dedi as one of the first women to receive a grant-in-aid at Old Dominion, to mentoring and continuing the winning tradition as an assistant coach, to guiding Old Dominion to its most triumphant era as a head coach, Larry's love, embrace, and influence in the game of women's basketball has been colossal.
F

Considered one of the elite coaches in the ever growing world

In 21 years as a head coach, she has compiled an impressive 475-173 record and as the head of the Lady Monarch program has won an impressive 75 percent of her games (426- 142). During her tenure, her teams also assembled what was known as the "The Streak," consisting of 113 consecutive regular and postseason conference victories from 1995-2001.
During her 18 years at the helm of the Old Dominion women's basketball program, Larry's teams have reached 17 NCAATournaments, captured a NCAArecord setting 14 ColonialAthleticAssociation (CAA) Titles, collected over 400 victories, and made Lady Monarch basketball one of the most recognized names in women's basketball.
For Wendy Larry, the love affair with Old Dominion does not begin merely in 1987 when she was named head coach, but spans three decades filled with history and accomplishment. She has been an instrumental member of the Lady Monarch family at every level. From building a foundation for the program at its infancy as a student-athlete
