WORCESTER, Mass. - For the second consecutive season, Worcester State University women's basketball head coach Karen Tessmer has been named the Coach of the Year by the Worcester Area College Basketball Association.
Despite graduating four elite-level seniors in 2018-19, Coach Tessmer led Worcester State to the MASCAC Championship for the second consecutive season in 2019-20. The 19-win Lancers upset Westfield State in the semifinals of the MASCAC Tournament to advance to the final, and came one win shy of becoming just the fourth team in program history with 20 wins in a season.
WACBA is an organization billed as "one of a kind in the country," featuring nine colleges, 18 programs, plus sports information directors and media members to foster friendships and camaraderie along with promoting the great game of basketball throughout the tradition-rich Worcester County Area.
