Tau finished her first season with Princeton in 2019-20.
The Tigers went 26-1 overall in 2019-20 and finished with a 22-game winning streak. The Tigers’ streak was the second longest in the country behind No. 1 South Carolina. The unit wrapped up the campaign with a RPI of No. 9, the best mark in Ivy history and went undefeated in conference play before the postseason was cancelled due to the Coronavirus. Bella Alarie was one of three players to be named All-Ivy as she was honored with her third straight Ivy Player of the Year award. Carlie Littlefield was first-team All-Ivy for the second consecutive season while Julia Cunningham was honored with honorable mention accolades.
Tau had spent the previous two seasons with Georgetown as the Director of Video Operations. While there, she handled video for the squad and social media.
Prior to Georgetown, Tau was a graduate assistant for two years at Texas. With the Longhorns, she did video breakdown and scouts to help the coaching staff and created a metric system to evaluate player performance during both games and practice. Tau also spent time at Texas as a student manager before walking on to the team as senior, earning an athletic scholarship in her final semester.
The former Longhorn also has experience coaching with Texas Elite Basketball and Westlake Hoops. Other experiences include program coordinator with the Shorthorns and operations intern with Austin Spurs of the NBA G-League.
Tau graduated from Texas in 2014 with a degree in business honors and finance before earning her master's degree in Sport Management in 2017.
