TicketsCINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati director of operations / assistant coach Abby Owings has been named a Thirty Under 30 honoree, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced on Thursday.
In her role, Owings plays a pivotal part in overseeing operations and staff logistics within the women's basketball program while also contributing on the court as a coach. This marks the eighth consecutive year that a member of Katrina Merriweather's staff has been honored with this award.
The WBCA Thirty Under 30 program was created to recognize 30 up-and-coming women's basketball coaches aged 30 and under at all levels of the game. Each honoree has exemplified their involvement in community service, mentorship and impact on others, professional manner, and attitude and professional association involvement.
Owings helped lead the team to its best winning percentage since 2019-20, including UC's highest non-conference winning percentage (.800, 8-2) since 2005-06 and its most conference victories (7) since 2019-20. Among her many contributions, Owings' scout played a crucial role in one of UC's most notable conference wins this season — a victory over Colorado.
