Monica Hang - Head Coach

 

Born in Santa Ana, California in 1981, Coach Hang enters her second season as headMonica Hang coach for theMonarchs' women's basketball program.  Hang came to LAVC from Glendale Community College, where she built that program into one of the more successful ones in Southern California.  During Hang’s coaching journey, she has helped many of her athletes move forward to the four-year level to continue their education and/or their basketball career. Some of her athletes have transferred to such notable schools as the University of California-Los Angeles, San Diego Christian University, California State University of Monterey Bay, Hawaii Pacific University, Fresno Pacific University, Occidental College and Culver-Stockton College in Missouri, arriving on athletic or academic scholarships. Hang plans to do the same thing with her student- athletes at Valley College.

As a player, Hang was the starting point guard on the Mark Keppel High School varsity basketball team as a freshman.  In 1998, she received Almont League MVP, Pasadena Star News San Gabriel Valley All-West Player of the Year, LA Times San Gabriel Valley (East & West) Top Eight, and First Team All-CIF. After graduating from Mark Keppel, she went on to play basketball at Ventura College under the highly touted Ned Mircetic.  As the point guard, she led her team to Back-to-Back to Back state championships from 2000-2002 and was an All-Conference and All-State Tournament selection. 

After earning her associate's degree from Ventura College in 2002, Hang then transferred to Cumberland College in Kentucky on a full athletic scholarship.  At Cumberland, she led her team to the Mid-South Conference Championship and an appearance at the Nationals.  Still today, her 2003-04 team holds the school's best record at 28-4.  Coach Hang was a two-time NAIA Scholar Athlete as well as a First Team and Academic All-Conference selection. 

Hang earned a Bachelor's degree in Movement and Leisure Studies from Cumberland College in 2004.  She received her Master's degree in Physical Education with an emphasis in teaching from California State of Los Angeles, CA in 2006.
