She will take over a basketball program that won the Great South Athletic Conference Tournament last season, and a strong running program at Salem. She has a history of playing and coaching at three NCAA Division III schools.

“I am elated to have the opportunity to help pioneer these young adults on the court, in the field, in the classroom, and in the community,” Mohney said.

Salem went 21-5 last season and won both the GSAC Regular Season and Tournament titles. The basketball team advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament for the first time in the program’s history.

The track and field and cross country teams both had successful 2013-2014 seasons, setting several school records.

“We are excited to welcome Coach Mohney to Salem College and the athletic coaching staff,” says Melissa Barrett, Director of Athletics. “She brings experience as both a Division III coach and player and will be an excellent leader for all three programs.”
