Cathy Hanek joins the Lakeland athletics staff as head women's golf coach and assistant women's basketball coach this year.

Hanek comes to Lakeland after a successful season as a graduate assistant women's basketball coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania last winter. Hanek was part of a team that finished 24-9 overall, tying for the second highest win-total in school history, and the Crimson Hawks won their first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West title since 1999. The squad also earned a NCAA Tournament berth, where they advanced to the Sweet 16. Hanek earned her master's degree in adult education and communications technology from IUP in August 2007.

Prior to her stint at IUP, Hanek had a successful basketball career at Youngstown State University (Oh.) from 2001-05 where she was a team captain her junior and senior seasons. She finished her career with 882 points and 153 3-point field goals, which ranks third in school history. Hanek remained at YSU to finish her secondary education degree, joining the women's basketball staff as director of basketball operations for the 2005-06 season.

Hanek also brings some golfing experience to the Muskies, as she had a solid four-year career at Ursuline High School (Youngstown, Oh.) where she was a regional qualifier in 1999 and 2000. She was also named to the All-Steel Valley Conference team for three years and was a SVC Medalist, given to the senior with the lowest average, in 2000.
