Abby Owings enters her third season as Director of Operations / Assistant Coach in 2025-26. She serves an integral role in overseeing operations and staff logistics within the women’s basketball program while holding on-court coaching responsibilities.
Owings was named to the WBCA Thirty Under 30 list for the second time in her career (2025, 2022). 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.
In 2024-25, 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.
Owings most recently served as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Eastern Kentucky from 2021-23. She assisted the Colonels to a 33-30 record, including a 22-8 home mark, and orchestrated recruiting efforts in their transition to the ASUN conference.
Prior to her latest stint, Owings served in the same role at Bellarmine for its transition to Division I basketball in the 2020-21 season. She spent the 2019-20 season at Shawnee State, where she assisted the Bears to a 29-4 record and a Mid-South Conference Tournament title. She was instrumental in the development of All-Conference Player of the Year Bailey Cummins and Brandie Snow, who were both named NAIA All-Americans.
Owings started her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Morehead State in 2018-19, helping lead the program to a 24-11 record, second-place regular season finish in the Ohio Valley conference and an appearance in the WNIT second round.
A three-time team captain, Owings concluded her collegiate career as one of the most accomplished players in Thomas More history. She currently ranks second in program history with 1,789 points, second with 264 three-point field goals made and fourth with 434 assists. Owings was named a three-time D3Hoops.com All-American and two-time WBCA All-American, while leading the team to two NCAA DIII National Championships and three DIII final four appearances. The Independence, Ky. native concluded her collegiate career with a 124-3 and 72-0 conference record.
