Head Coach Stephanie Flamini
Stephanie Flamini starts her fifth season as Guilford's head women's basketball coach and senior woman's administrator (SWA). She joined the Quakers' staff in July, 2003, and directed a senior-laden team to a 17-9 record and the 2004 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Tournament semifinals. Six Guilford student-athletes have earned All-ODAC honors under Flamini's direction, including Courtney Hill '05, a 2004-05 first-team selection, Jennifer King ’06, a 2005-06 first-team selection, 2005-06 ODAC Rookie of the Year Kristine Ellis, as well as Tracey Croner '09, a 2006-07 second-team selection.
The Quakers' eighth head women's basketball coach, Flamini owns a 107-97 career record in eight seasons. Before joining Guilford's staff, she guided Chowan to a 42-32 record in three years, the most women's basketball coaching victories since Chowan became a four-year school in 1993. The team enjoyed three consecutive winning seasons for the first time under Flamini, including a 15-9 mark in 2002-03. The team club ranked as high as third among NCAA Division III South Region teams and earned the school's first regional women's hoops ratings.

Flamini also worked as Chowan's SWA and taught in the school's health and physical education department.
Flamini coached Maine-Farmington to a 16-9 record and the Maine Athletic Conference regular-season title in 1998-99, her
lone season at the school. In addition to her basketball duties, she served as
the school's assistant athletic director, SWA and assistant softball coach.
Flamini worked as a women's basketball assistant coach at Division II
Shippensburg in 1999-00 when the Raiders won the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference (PSAC) championship and reached the NCAA Division II Tournament. She
assisted Deirdre Kane's West Chester team from 1996-98 and helped the Rams to
the 1997 PSAC Eastern Conference crown and an NCAA bid. Flamini also served as head coach of the PSAC All-Star team that traveled to the Netherlands in the summer of 2000.
A native of King of Prussia, Pa., and graduate of Upper Merion High School, Flamini earned a basketball scholarship to Division II Clarion where she helped the Eagles to a 57-30 record, a PSAC title and two NCAA Tournament appearances in three years. Clarion reached the national quarterfinals in 1991 and the round of 16 in 1992. Flamini concluded her college career at West Chester and in 1994 earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy and an associate's degree in elementary education. She assisted Immaculata's basketball team in 1995-96 before returning to West Chester for her master's degree in athletic administration in 1998.
