Kirsten Richter
Assistant Coach
Kirsten Richter will begin her first season on Carroll LaHaye's staff
in 2006-07.
Richter comes to R-MC after spending the previous three seasons as
an assistant coach at her alma-mater Franklin and Marshall College in
Lancaster, Pa. As a member of the Diplomats staff, Richter was involved
in all phases of the basketball program including in-game strategy,
recruiting, conditioning as well as overseeing the team’s academics.
Richter was responsible for designing and implementing an offensive
system that led the Centennial Conference in three-point field goal
percentage (.298) and three-pointers made (140) in 2005-06.
During her stint with the Diplomats, Richter also contributed to on-court
development that led to her players earning Centennial Conference Player-of-the-Year
honors on two occasions and four all-conference team choices in her
three seasons.
“Kirsten will be a great addition to our staff at this point
in the program,” said LaHaye. “We will certainly value the
experience she has and will take full advantage of it.”
On the court, Richter was a member of the F&M program from 2001-2003,
serving as team-captain for two of those seasons. Richter earned her
degree in government with a minor in public policy and then went on
to receive her master of education in sports management degree from
Millersville University in 2006. For her performance in the classroom,
Richter was the recipient of the sport management graduate faculty award
for academic excellence.
