Coaching bio

Before she became an associate athletic director at WWU, Goodrich established herself as one of the top college basketball coaches in NAIA history. In 19 seasons as head coach of the Vikings, she had a 411-125 record to become one of just three NAIA coaches to amass more than 400 wins. She led the Vikings to three District 1 championships and two trips to the national quarterfinals of the NAIA tournament. Goodrich never had losing season, and her teams won 20 or more games 13 times. She took the Vikings to 18 postseasons and was twice named a finalist for national coach-of-the-year honors. Goodrich was voted WWU's top female coach of the 20th Century and is a member of the NAIA National Hall of Fame, the Northwest Women's Hall of Fame and the Lake Stevens High School Hall of Fame.
