Stephanie Del Preore begins her third season as head women's basketball coach at LIU Brooklyn in 2017-18. In her two seasons in Brooklyn, Del Preore's teams have produced a 1,000 point scorer (Shanovia Dove), three All-NEC nods (two for Dove, one for Shanice Vaughan), an NEC All-Rookie selection (Aja Boyd), and a combined record of 15-44.

Prior to LIU, Del Preore was the top assistant at Seton Hall from 2013-15 and was an integral part of leading the Pirates to a school-record 28 victories and a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2014-15.
 
Del Preore helped former LIU Brooklyn head coach Anthony Bozzella turn around a SHU program that had compiled just two winning seasons since 2002-03. The Pirates won 20 games in Del Preore's first season in 2013-14, and earned the program's first postseason berth in nearly a decade.
 
In 2014-15, the Pirates earned a national ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time in almost 20 years, ascending to No. 23 in the country after a 70-51 victory over No. 14/16 Georgia on Dec. 28.
 
Seton Hall went 28-6 overall and 15-3 in BIG EAST play in 2014-15, earning a spot in the conference tournament finals and garnering individual honors along the way. Guards Ka-Deidre and Dasha Simmons were First Team All-BIG EAST selections, with Dasha earning Defensive Player of the Year honors.
 
Del Preore joined Seton Hall following a three-year stint as head women's basketball coach at the University of Bridgeport. In her three years at UB, Del Preore improved the Purple Knights win total each year, culminating in an 18-10 year in 2012-13.
 
During her final season, Del Preore developed a pair of First-Team All-East Coast Conference selections, helped the Purple Knights to a program-best 12-6 mark in the competitive ECC and advanced the program to a No. 10 ranking in the NCAA Division II East Region rankings.
 
Del Preore additionally spent time on staff at Caldwell College and Stevens Institute of Technology, where she was promoted to interim head coach of the Ducks at the end of the 2009-10 season.
 
DelPreore was a standout student-athlete at Marist College from 2000-04. Over her four-year career, she scored 1,114 points and pulled down 670 rebounds, averaging 10.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in 109 career games. Upon graduation, she ranked sixth on the all-time scoring list and fifth in career rebounds.
 
A Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) All-Rookie selection in 2000-01, Del Preore went on to earn Second-Team All-MAAC honors in 2003-04. She was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2004 MAAC Tournament after scoring 30 points, grabbing 16 rebounds and hitting two key free throws with seconds left to help the Red Foxes defeat Canisius in the championship game and advance to their first-ever NCAA Tournament.
 
After graduating from Marist with a liberal arts degree in communication in 2004, Del Preore played professionally for Club Irlandesas in Leioa, Spain, for one season, leading the team in scoring, rebounding and minutes played.
 
As a prep player at New Jersey's Livingston High School, Del Preore finished her standout career as the school's all-time leading scorer (1,809 points) and rebounder (1,454 rebounds), and was inducted into the Lancer Athletics Hall of Fame in 2011.
