Prior to coming to Rio Grande, Coach Donaldson served as an assistant coach for one season (1996-97) at Shawnee State University before assuming the head coaching position at Hanover United High School in 1998.  Donaldson's teams had some amazing runs during the period of 1998-2003 in which she guided them to a State Final Four Appearance.
