WESTON, Mass. – The Regis College women's basketball team is proud to announce that Angela Santa Fe will be joining the coaching staff for the 2011-2012 season. Santa Fe previously served as an assistant coach for the University of Southern Maine, where she graduated from in 2007.

Santa Fe helped lead the Huskies to an 18-11 mark last season in the Little East Conference and an appearance in the LEC Semifinals. The Huskies would eventually earn a bid into the ECAC Tournament where the Huskies reached the ECAC Championship game.

During her playing career, Santa Fe played three seasons for the Huskies after transferring in from Division II Merrimack College. During her first season with the Huskies, Santa Fe was a part of the 2006 National Finalist team that finished with a record of 32-2 and 14-0 in the Little East Conference. During her three-year career, USM compiled a record of 84-9 overall and 40-2 in the Little East. Santa Fe helped USM reach the NCAA tournament all three seasons, including its Final Four and National Finalist appearance in 2006 and a Sweet Sixteen trip in 2007.

An adept shooter, Santa Fe finished her career with an outstanding 47.3 percent (205-433) mark from the field and 551 points in 84 career games. She served as one of the team's captains in 2007-2008.
