Adelphi University Athletics

LaSheena McDonald returns to Adelphi as an assistant coach with the Adelphi women's basketball program. She recently wrapped up her second season in 2022-23.

McDonald previously worked at Adelphi from 2008-15. She started out as an event management graduate assistant, before eventually becoming the department's equipment manager.

Her most recent experience came as an assistant coach at New York Tech, which had to temporarily shut down its athletic program last summer in the wake of COVID-19.

McDonald was a four-year standout at Division III program Mount Saint Mary College, where she was enshrined in the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015.

She graduated with her bachelor's degree in Business Management from MSMC in 2007 and remains the school's all-time leader in rebounds per game.

McDonald helped lead the Blue Knights to an unprecedented four Skyline Conference titles in her collegiate tenure, as well as a 98-17 record (.852 winning percentage).

She was a career 1,000-point scorer and earned Skyline Conference and ECAC Division III Metro Player of the Year honors in 2016. McDonald finished her career as a three-time All-Skyline Conference and two-time D3Hoops.com All-Region selection.

McDonald currently works as a business operations senior associate at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York -- a position she has held since 2015 -- and graduated with her master's degree from Adelphi in Sports Management in 2010.

McDonald resides in Hempstead with her husband and three children.
