Washington, D.C. - Georgetown University head women's basketball coach Terri Williams-Flournoy has signed a contract extension that will keep her leading the Hoya program through the 2011-12 academic year.

Entering her fifth season as head coach, Williams-Flournoy and her staff have recently added an incoming class that was ranked sixth nationally by Mike Flynn's Blue Star Report and 18th nationally by hoopgurlz.com. It marked Coach Flournoy's first top 10 recruiting class.

"We're excited that Terri will continue to lead the women's basketball program," Georgetown Director of Athletics Bernard Muir said. "We've seen steady improvements and we look forward to more progressive success in the BIG EAST standings."

The Hoyas are coming off a 15-14 season in 2007-08.

Coach Flournoy is starting her ninth season on the Hilltop after spending four seasons as a Georgetown assistant coach from 1992-96.

Williams-Flournoy put together a 12-year record of success as an assistant coach at Georgetown, Georgia (1996-2002) and Southwest Missouri State (2002-04). She has been a part of three teams that have made nine NCAA Tournament appearances including a Final Four (1999) and two regional finals appearances (1997, 2000) with Georgia, and Georgetown's "Sweet 16" run in 1993.

"I am extremely excited to be able to continue our team's path to success," said Williams-Flournoy. "I appreciate the faith my administration has shown in giving me this opportunity."
