Eagles alum Lyles takes over as women’s basketball head coach
“Being FGCU’s second head coach, leading the program at my alma mater, is my dream,” Lyles continued. “I want to thank Colin Hargis and President Timur for their confidence in me to lead this incredible program. These young women are special, and we are ready to continue the Eagles’ legacy together. I’m excited and ready for the season ahead, and I am focusing on our game against NJIT.”
A 2010 FGCU graduate, Lyles began her coaching career as a student assistant in 2010-11. After a one-year stint in that role, she officially joined the staff as an assistant coach in 2011, serving until being named the recruiting coordinator in summer 2014. She was promoted to associate head coach under Smesko in 2019. Lyles entered the 2023-24 season in her sixth year as an associate head coach with a 148-20 record.
