Mesaris Joins Women's Basketball Staff as an Assistant Coach

HANOVER, N.H. – Adrienne Shibles, the Gail Boudreaux '82 and Family Head Coach of Dartmouth Women's Basketball, has added Meredith Mesaris as a volunteer assistant coach ahead of the upcoming season.

"Meredith adds a wealth of experience from her tenure at Williams that will benefit our program in a myriad of ways," Shibles said. "We are so excited to welcome her as a member of our Dartmouth women's basketball family!"

Mesaris arrives in Hanover after spending five seasons as an assistant coach at Williams (2016-21). While there, she helped the Ephs to a 58-45 record, seeing the team make it to the NESCAC quarterfinals three times before advancing all the way to the NCAA Division III Sweet Sixteen in 2019-20. They did not get to complete their season and the remainder of the tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Before Williams, Mesaris was the assistant coach at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, contributing to the Warriors 19-7 overall record and third-place finish in the Southern Athletic Association. She helped coach both SAA Player of the Year Sara Dylsin and Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-America Honorable Mention Caitlin Kriesel-Bigler.

A two-time WBCA All-American and 2015 CoSIDA Academic All-American herself, Mesaris was the leading scorer for the Scranton Lady Royals all three seasons she played there. She graduated magna cum laude in 2015 with a degree in management and a minor in coaching.
