By Connect Mason Sports Director Damien Sordelett

As announced Wednesday by the George Mason athletic department, Jeri Porter has been named the new women's basketball coach, replacing Debbie Taneyhill who resigned last month.

Porter comes from Radford University, where she lead the Highlanders to one WNIT berth (2007-08) in her six years as head coach. In her first four seasons at Radford, Porter only recorded one winning season. The past two seasons garnered 20-plus wins, including this past season with the second most wins in Radford women's history (23).

Porter comes to Mason with an overall head coaching record of 157-128 in her 10 seasons as head coach. She spent her first four years as coach of North Alabama.
