As a junior in 1992, she was named Most Outstanding Player as Stanford won their 2nd national championship in 1992.[4] In the tournament, she set the record for most three-pointers made with 18.[3][4] ## USA Basketball[edit] Goodenbour was named to the team representing the US at the 1995 Pan American Games, however, only four teams committed to participate, so the event was cancelled.[5] ## Professional career[edit] Following her college career, Goodenbour played professional basketball for Linkspring Dambasket in Sweden in the 1995–96 season. She joined the Richmond Rage of the American Basketball League in 1996–97, who played in the inaugural ABL Championship.[3][6] Goodenbour played in 40 games with 11 starts. She averaged 20.2 minutes per game, 7.3 points, 1.4 assists and 2.0 rebounds.[7] She was sixth in the ABL in three-point field goal percentage with .411.[8] During the playoffs, Goodenbour started all seven games for the Rage and averaged 8 points.[7] Goodenbour signed with the New England Blizzard during the off-season, but was traded to the Portland Power on August 25, 1997 in exchange for a third round pick in the 1998 ABL Draft.[8] During the 1998 ABL Draft, the San Jose Lasers drafted Goodenbour, as she joined the league as an undrafted free agent.[9] She never signed with the Lasers and retired from playing. ## Coaching career[edit] Goodenbour coached women's basketball for one year in 1994–95 for the University of San Francisco before embarking on her professional career. She returned to coaching in 2002 as associate head coach at Santa Rosa Junior College. She became head coach in 2003, guiding the team to two conference titles. She was named Bay Valley Conference Coach of the Year in 2005.[3] In 2005, she returned to USF as lead assistant coach for one season, then was hired as head coach for the Chico State Wildcats in 2006. She was named California Collegiate Athletic Association Coach of the Year in 2008 as the Wildcats compiled a 28–6 record and finished the season ranked 17th in the Division II Coaches Poll.[3] Goodenbour was hired to coach women's basketball at UC Irvine in 2008, where she remained for four years.[3][10] After her four-year stint as Anteater head coach, Goodenbour was hired as head coach of the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros, replacing Van Girard, the winningest women's basketball head coach in the program's history. With her hire, Goodenbour became the fourth head coach in CSUDH women's basketball history.[11] [12] On June 8, 2016, Cal State East Bay hired Goodenbour as head women's basketball coach, after Suzy Barcomb moved up to Division I Seattle.[13][14] Less than four months later on September 28, 2016, Goodenbour was hired as San Francisco's ninth head women's basketball coach after her former Stanford Cardinal teammate and previous Dons coach Jennifer Azzi resigned from the post as head coach two weeks earlier.[15] ## Personal[edit] Goodenbour is married to Pat Fuscaldo, head men's basketball coach at Sonoma State University.[3] ## Head coaching record[edit] ### Junior college[edit] Statistics overview Season | Team | Overall | Conference | Standing | Postseason | | | | | Santa Rosa Bear Cubs (Bay Valley Conference) (2003–2005) 2003–04 | Santa Rosa | 24–6[16] | 13–1 | T–1st (Bay)[17] | CCCAA Elite Eight 2004–05 | Santa Rosa | 25–5 | 14–0 | 1st (Bay)[18] | CCCAA Regional Total: | 49–11 | National champion Postseason invitational champion Conference regular season champion Conference regular season and conference tournament champion Division regular season champion Division regular season and conference tournament champion Conference tournament champion ### College[edit] Statistics overview Season | Team | Overall | Conference | Standing | Postseason | | | | | Chico State Wildcats (California Collegiate Athletic Association) (2006–2008) 2006–07 | Chico State | 24–5 | 18–4 | 3rd[19] | NCAA D-II Third Round[20] 2007–08 | Chico State | 28–6 | 17–3 | 1st[19] | NCAA D-II Second Round[21] Chico State: | 52–11 | 35–7 | UC Irvine Anteaters (Big West Conference) (2008–2012) 2008–09 | UC Irvine | 7–23 | 4–12 | T–7th[22] | 2009–10 | UC Irvine | 9–21 | 6–10 | 7th[23] | 2010–11 | UC Irvine | 15–15 | 7–9 | 5th[24] | 2011–12 | UC Irvine | 13–17 | 9–7 | T–3rd[25] | UC Irvine: | 44–76 | 26–38 | Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros (California Collegiate Athletic Association) (2012–2016) 2012–13 | Cal State Dominguez Hills | 9–17 | 8–14 | 9th[19] | 2013–14 | Cal State Dominguez Hills | 20–10 | 13–9 | T–3rd[19] | 2014–15 | Cal State Dominguez Hills | 26–7 | 19–3 | T–1st[19] | NCAA D-II First Round[26] 2015–16 | Cal State Dominguez Hills | 22–10 | 18–2 | T–1st[27] | NCAA D-II First Round[28] Cal State Dominguez Hills: | 77–44 | 58–28 | San Francisco Dons (West Coast Conference) (2016–present) 2016–17 | San Francisco | 18–13 | 11–7 | 4th | 2017–18 | San Francisco | 16-15 | 10-8 | 5th | 2018–19 | San Francisco | 7-24 | 2-16 | T-9th | 2019–20 | San Francisco | 12-19 | 5-13 | 9th | 2020-21 | San Francisco | 16-11 | 10-7 | 3rd | WNIT First Round San Francisco: | 69–82 (.457) | 38–51 (.427) | Total: | 242–213 (.532) | National champion Postseason invitational champion Conference regular season champion Conference regular season and conference tournament champion Division regular season champion Division regular season and conference tournament champion Conference tournament champion ## References[edit] 1. ^ "Women's Basketball Coaches Career".
