Jorja Hoehn
Jennies Basketball Coach, 1980-85
Hoehn succeeded Barnes as Jennies' basketball coach in 1980 and led the Jennies to their greatest success, making three straight trips to the Division II Final Four and winning the 1984 national championship. Her five-year CMSU record of 115-35 gave her a .767 winning percentage. The Jennies won or shared four MIAA titles during her tenure. She was named NCAA Division II Coach of the Year in 1983 by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association and won the honor again in 1985, after guiding the Jennies to a second-place finish in the NCAA tournament. A graduate of Indiana, Hoehn returned to her alma mater to coach following her CMSU coaching career. Following a three-year coaching stint at Indiana, Hoehn went to California-Davis in 1988, where she has coached for eight seasons. She won her third WBCA Division II Coach of the Year Award in 1995, becoming the only women's college basketball coach to win that honor three times. Currently, she is on a year's sabbatical from coaching.
