Daynia La-Force
Head Coach

On Wednesday, May 7, University of Rhode Island Director of Athletics Thorr Bjorn announced the hiring of Daynia La-Force as the eighth women’s basketball coach in program history. La-Force came to Rhode Island after spending eight seasons at Northeastern, where she took over a struggling program and made it competitive in the CAA.

"We are thrilled to have Daynia La-Force as the new head coach of the URI women's basketball program," Bjorn said. "After going through an extensive nationwide search, with many exceptional candidates, we felt that Daynia brings all the criteria we were looking for when we started the process."
