ARLINGTON, TX – The UT Arlington women's basketball program announced the addition of former Lady Mav standout Avery Brittingham to the coaching staff as a program specialist.

"We're excited to welcome Avery back to College Park Center," said Coach Wright, "One of the most exciting and passionate players to ever wear a Lady Mav jersey, Avery is back on the sideline—mentoring our players, sharing her experience and helping us continue to grow our program."

She eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau and helped propel the Lady Mavs to their best-ever finish in the WAC, posting an 11-9 conference record and advancing to the WAC Tournament semifinals.
