Former Dartmouth standout Lakin Roland '16 is entering her third season as an assistant coach in 2020-21.

"We are all very excited to welcome home Lakin Roland '16 to Hanover, said Coach Koclanes. After two years of playing professional basketball overseas and earning her graduate degree, Lakin is ready to join the coaching profession. She has always demonstrated an incredible passion for the game, as well as a genuine concern for others - two essential characteristics of a coach. As an alumna of our program, Lakin brings an inside perspective that will certainly benefit our current and future players. She has played a significant role in moving our program forward as a player and now has the opportunity to contribute even more as a member of our coaching staff."

Roland played in 112 games during her Dartmouth career — tied for fourth in the program annals — averaging 11.0 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest. Her 1,235 total points rank 12th on the Big Green career list, while her 725 rebounds place her sixth. The six-foot forward earned a spot on the All-Ivy League First Team as a senior after two-straight honorable mention citations.

Roland spent last year playing professionally with the Roannis Basket Femine in Roanne, France, plus tutored middle and high school students in the English language.

Roland graduated from Dartmouth in 2016 with a degree in sociology. She then attended the Durham University Business School in the United Kingdom, where she earned her master's in human resource management in 2018.
