Maxwell and Goles join Eagle staff for ‘25-’26 season
CHENEY, Wash. — In preparation for the 2025-26 season, head coach Joddie Gleason announced the hiring of Brynna Maxwell and Dora Goles as assistant coaches for Eastern Washington women's basketball. The two new assistants look to build on the progress the Eagles made last season, going into Gleason's fourth season leading the program. Maxwell is well familiar with the area after playing at Gonzaga for two seasons (2022-24), where she earned two All-WCC first team honors. Originally from Gig Harbor, Wash., Maxwell initially started her collegiate career at Utah (2019-22), earning two All-Pac 12 honors, along with a spot on the 2020 Pac-12 All-Freshman team. Adding to her list of honors, Maxwell appeared on the Ann Meyers Drysdale watchlist in three seasons and the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year watchlist for two seasons. Following graduation, Maxwell was drafted 13th in the WNBA Draft by the Chicago Sky. She spent last season playing in the Liga Femenina Endesa for Celta Zorka Recalvi in Vigo, Spain.
