Roanoke College Women's Basketball

Flaherty is entering her second year as head coach of the Roanoke College women's basketball program.   The Maroons posted an overall record of 8-18 during Flaherty's first season. She led the Maroons to a 4-0 start to begin the season, which was the best start for the women's basketball team since the 2009-2010 season. In the fifth game of the season, she lost her top-two players due to season-ending injuries.  The highlight of the season was claiming the Guilford Tip-Off Classic and a win over nationally ranked Christopher Newport.  She coached Cary Beahm who made the All-ODAC Second Team.    Flaherty came to Salem after spending four years as Head Women's Basketball Coach at Lasell College.  In the 2013-14 season, she guided the Lasers to a record of 12-14 and the team's first Great Northeast Athletic Conference postseason appearance in program history.    Prior to her time at Lasell, Flaherty spent six years as the Assistant Women's Basketball Coach at her alma mater, Bates College from 2004-2010. During that six-year span, Flaherty aided the Bobcats to a record of 104-53, which included four NESCAC Tournament appearances, along with the NCAA Division III Tournament Sectionals appearance in the 2004-05 season.  Also during her time at Bates College, she served as the Interim Head Women's Soccer Coach in 2008, as well as the Assistant Women's Soccer Coach from 2005-07.   Flaherty received her bachelor's degree from Bates College in 2003, where she was a four-year two-sport athlete in basketball and softball.  As a Bobcat, she finished her basketball career with 1,143 points, the fifth highest point total in program history at the time.  Her success on the hardwood earned her All-NESCAC First Team, All-Maine Women's Basketball Coaches Association First Team and All-New England honors from d3hoops.com. She continued her education with a Master's of Science in Organizational Leadership from Southern New Hampshire University in 2010.   Carla Flaherty is entering her second year as head coach of the Roanoke College women's basketball program.   The Maroons posted an overall record of 8-18 during Flaherty's first season.
