Heather Jacobs, a 2006 graduate of Franklin Pierce University and a native of Stoughton, Mass., was named the fifth Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Daniel Webster College September 10, 2007.

Jacobs, who enters the 2007-08 season as the youngest head coach across the NCAA Division I/II/III spectrum (confirmed recently by the national office), spent the previous season as assistant coach with DWC conference rival Norwich University. The Lady Cadets posted a 24-4 overall mark including a 10-1 record in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) play, finishing second in the regular season standings. Norwich, which led the league in total team defense, advanced the conference tournament championship game and earned an at large bid to the NCAA tournament.

“I am thrilled for the opportunity to take over the helm of the Women’s Basketball program at Daniel Webster,” said Jacobs. “It is an exciting time for the Eagles program as we have five returning starters, a solid core, and talented incoming players. The student-athletes have been training hard in the off season and their strong work ethic will pay off as we look to elevate ourselves in GNAC standings this season.”

Jacobs, who graduated magna cum laude in Sports and Recreation Management with a minor in Marketing, was a two-time Northeast-10 Conference All Academic selection while at Franklin Pierce. She closed out her collegiate career earning Second Team All Conference accolades while leading the team in scoring and the NE-10 in free throw shooting. She also earned Most Valuable Player accolades at the 2006 ECAC Division II championships, leading the Ravens to the tournament title.

A two time captain and team most valuable player as a junior and senior, Jacobs retired 20th all time in career scoring, 19th in rebounding and collected more than 100 steals and 129 assists over her four seasons.
