She became the first coach Drexel University 2004-pres. in Drexel women’s basketball history to lead the team with six-consecutive winning seasons when the Head Coach Dragons won a school-record 28 games on its way to a 28-10 record and the WNIT title in 2012-13. The Dragons finished third in the CAA, reaching their third-ever and second-straight CAA title game before Drexel University 2003-04 earning a bid to the WNIT. Drexel beat Iona, Harvard, Bowling Green, Auburn, Florida and Utah on its Interim Head Coach way to the title. Drexel had never defeated an SEC or Pac-12 team until the 2013 WNIT. The first break-through season for Denise and her Dragons came in 2008-09. Led by a core of Drexel University 2001-03 veteran senior leaders and a talented junior in Gabriela Marginean, the Dragons played their way to the Assistant Coach 2009 regular-season championship, a program record 24 wins and the top seed in the CAA Tourna- ment. There, Drexel did what many thought was impossible: knocking off 17-time defending champion Villanova University 1997- Old Dominion and ending the Lady Monarchs’ NCAA-best 50-game conference tournament winning 2001 streak. The Dragons went on to defeat James Madison on its home court to bring home the school’s Assistant Coach first CAA title. During her tenure Denise has helped guide the careers of 17 All-Conference selections, four Dean Ehlers Leadership Award recipients, the program’s first AP All-American, the leading scoring in Phila- Dillon vs. 2016-17 delphia women’s basketball history and the first Drexel women’s player to be selected in the WNBA Opponents Draft.
