Since the East Texas native’s first season at the helm in 2011-12 – in which she oversaw one of the best turnarounds in school history – Antoine has taken Texas State to new heights. The list of accomplishments includes a regular season conference championship, five postseason tournament appearances, and 14 all-conference honors collected by the Bobcats.

Antoine, a former star post player at Colorado State, has focused the Texas State program on player development on and off the court.

She coached post players and helped with academics. Antoine played at Colorado State where she was a three-year starter for the Rams. She played her senior season for head coach Tom Collen, with whom she would work later at Louisville and Arkansas. CSU went 24-6 and reached the NCAA second round during his first season as head coach.

Antoine graduated from James E. Taylor High School in Katy, Texas and earned her bachelor’s degree in physical science with minors in geology and statistics at Colorado State in 1998. In 2000, she received her master’s in athletic administration at Ohio.

Antoine is a member of the WBCA, the AFCWA, and a 2002 graduate, the inaugural class, of the former Women’s Coaches Academy and now Alliance of Women’s Coaches.
