Cal Tech Release
PRINCETON – Annie Tarakchian '16 has been named head coach of the Caltech Women's Basketball Team, the school announced yesterday.
"To be entrusted to coach at Caltech is both an honor and a privilege," Tarakchian said in the press release with Caltech. "I thank Betsy Mitchell and the Athletics staff for their support and welcome as I join their team. I look forward to getting to know the current players closely and working hard together to elevate this program. Winning games is always a goal, but beyond that I hope to ensure that the players are supported to excel universally. Caltech is an extraordinary place, and I'm so humbled and inspired to start this next chapter as a head coach."
A two-time All-Ivy selection, Tarakchian finished her four years at Princeton ranked fifth in rebounds (749), 10th in rebound average (6.8) and 10th in games played (111). Her senior class went 97-23 including a 50-6 record in the Ivy League. She was part of two Ivy League Championships along with the program's first ever NCAA and WNIT Tournament victories. Tarakchian helped the team win at least 20 games in each of her four seasons including sweeps in 20 of its 23 Ivy League weekends. During her time, Princeton had two national rankings at No. 24 in 2012 and No. 13 during her junior season which was the highest ever in Ivy women's basketball history.
