Here’s press release news out of Wilmington University

NEWARK, Del. - Wilmington University and its athletics department have appointed Adrianna Hahn as head coach of women's basketball.

"We are excited about the energy, expertise and commitment to player development that Coach Hahn brings to our program," says Director of Athletics Dr. Stefanie Whitby. "Her passion for the game and dedication to helping athletes reach their full potential make her a valuable addition to our community."

A Delaware native, Hahn was a three-time Gatorade Player of the Year at Ursuline Academy, leading her team to two DIAA State Championships. At Villanova University, she became the program's all-time leader in 3-point field goals made, with 315, and the Big East career leader in conference 3-point field goals made, with 169 in conference games. She established herself as one of the most accomplished shooters in Villanova and Big East history. She graduated as the No. 7 scorer in Villanova history, with 1,503 career points.

Beyond her playing career, Hahn has coached at the high school level and brings a strong background in skills training and basketball operations. She served as a player development coach for the Delaware Blue Coats, working with professional players and coaches and contributing to practices, drills, and individualized instruction. Hahn also served in a similar role with BPG Sports as director of basketball operations.

As the owner of Hahn Hoops, she has dedicated her career to developing athletes from the youth level to the professional ranks, with an emphasis on skill development, basketball IQ, confidence, and leadership on and off the court.

"I'm excited to represent my hometown of Wilmington and take on the opportunity to lead this program," Hahn says. "At Villanova, there's a saying: 'Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat.' Coming to Wilmington University, where teams also compete as Wildcats, makes this role feel especially meaningful to me. I want to bring that same sense of pride to WilmU and build a program that our students, alumni and community can rally around. Women's basketball is gaining momentum, and I want Wilmington University and our community to be part of that excitement. I'm committed to building a program that Wilmington and the state can take pride in."

Hahn earned a bachelor's in Communications (2018) and a postgraduate certificate in Digital Media (2019), both from Villanova University.
