Pittsburgh, PA (My Sportsbook) - The University of Pittsburgh on Thursday announced a three-year contract extension for head women's basketball coach Agnus Berenato. The move will make her Pitt's head coach through the 2015-16 season. "We are very pleased to make this commitment to her and for her commitment to the University," Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson said of Berenato. "She has brought this program to heights never before achieved at Pitt and we are pleased to maintain the growth and stability of the program." Berenato went 6-20 in her first year with the school, but has since reeled off three consecutive 20-win seasons and last year advanced to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 for the first time in school history. Pitt went to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two years, the only two appearances in school history, and won a record 24 games in each of those years. |
