LORMAN, Miss. — Alcorn State hired former Tennessee Lady Vol Tonya Edwards as its women’s basketball coach Monday.
Edwards spent the past two seasons as an assistant at Detroit-Mercy.
Alcorn State athletic director Darren J. Hamilton said during Edwards’ tenure at Detroit-Mercy she oversaw the budget, served as recruiter and coached the guards.

NcVol, the last number I heard is old off an "In My Own Words" show. Then it was 57, and I know of three more since then.

For many who weren't around then she was a "very big" recruit for the Lvols and from far away - Michigan. Great from the day she arrived, overcame the dreaded knee injury. And I'm pleased she has a chance to grow her career in the college ranks.
