Jimmy Garrity

Head Coach

Jimmy Garrity enters his 11th season as the head coach of the Wofford women’s basketball program in 2026-27. Garrity was named head coach on April 25, 2016. In his 10 seasons at the helm, he has seen players earn 22 All-Southern Conference honors, 10 All-Freshman Team honors, six All-Defensive Team selections, three SoCon Freshmen of the Year, three SoCon Players of the Year, and one SoCon Defensive Player of the Year. Garrity has been named SoCon Coach of the Year once (2022-23), the first in program history. Garrity led the Terriers to their first-ever Division I postseason appearance in 2021-22 with a berth in the WNIT, and he guided Wofford to its first-ever SoCon Regular Season Championship in 2022-23, the first title for any Wofford women's team sport. The Terriers added another SoCon Regular Season Championship in 2025-26.  The 2025-26 season showed continued success, earning the program’s second SoCon Regular Season Championship in program history. Wofford finished with a 16-13 record, including a 10-4 mark in conference play. After a three-way tie for first with Chattanooga and ETSU, Wofford was able to claim its second-ever regular season title. The 10 wins in conference play was just the third time in program history the team has reached double-digit win totals. Wofford continued its dominant stretch at home, posting a 9-4 record at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium to secure its 11th-straight season with a .500 or better home record. The Terriers scored a program-record 126 points in the season opener against Converse. After dropping the first game of conference play, Wofford went on to win five games in a row. The team would later spark another five-game win streak in conference play. In a 51-38 win at UNCG on February 12, Garrity earned his 153rd career win at Wofford to become the program’s all-time leader. At the end of the season, freshman guard Gabby Mundy was named Southern Conference Freshman of the Year and All-SoCon First Team. Mundy became the fourth SoCon Freshman of the Year in program history and the second in the last three seasons. Joining Mundy on the first team was forward Queen Ikhiuwu. Mundy led the conference with a 1.36 assist/turnover ratio and was third in scoring with 15.0 points per game. Queen Ikhiuwu earned the first team nod after averaging 13.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Junior guard Maddie Heiss shot 91.7 percentage from the free throw line, placing her third in the nation. As a team, Wofford led the conference in turnovers per game (12.9), three-point percentage defense (27.4), rebounds per game (39.9), defensive rebounds per game (27.9), free throw percentage (75.9), and was second in scoring offense (65.8). The program continued to succeed in the 2024-25 campaign, posting a 17-12 record with an 8-6 SoCon clip to finish fourth in the league despite several key injuries throughout the season. Inside the friendly confines of Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium, the Terriers were 12-2 to secure their 10th-straight season with a .500 or better home record alongside a fourth consecutive season with double-digit home wins. With an unblemished 7-0 home mark in non-conference play, Wofford went undefeated at home in non-conference games for the second time in three seasons. Wofford opened SoCon play with six wins in a row, the best start to conference play in program history. Against Western Carolina on January 18, Garrity recorded the 200th overall win of his career. The Terriers defeated No. 5 seed Samford in the SoCon Tournament before falling to top-seeded UNCG, but Wofford reached the semifinals for a fifth-straight campaign. At season’s end, Evangelia Paulk earned SoCon Player of the Year and SoCon Defensive Player of the Year honors, marking the third-straight season a Terrier has earned the league’s top honor while becoming the first in program history to garner the top defensive selection. Joining her on the All-SoCon First Team was Helen Matthews, who added a SoCon All-Tournament Team selection after posting stellar performances while playing through a challenging elbow injury. Libby Privett earned the Ann Lashley Inspiration Award while Molly Masingale picked up SoCon All-Freshman Team recognition. Wofford led the SoCon in assist/turnover ratio (0.85), field goal percentage defense (36.9), free throw percentage (77.3), defensive rebounds per game (26.4), and rebounds per game (39.62). Paulk recorded the program’s second triple-double against Samford on February 20, doing so unconventionally with points, rebounds, and steals, becoming the first SoCon player to ever record the feat with steals as one of the markers. Her 13 swipes against Erskine broke the program record for a game, and her 95 total for the year led the conference, ranked 11th in the nation, and fell just two short of the program’s season record. The 2023-24 season was another strong year for the program, as Garrity's squad went 17-13 with an 8-6 SoCon record. The season saw another program first, as the Terriers downed Virginia 71-70 on December 16 with Rachael Rose's last-second floater, securing the program's first-ever win over an ACC foe and just the second Power Five win (Alabama, 2012). With a 13-2 home record, the Terriers tallied their largest win total ever at home. Rose's triple-double against Furman on January 20 was another historic feat, the first for the program. At the conclusion of the season, Rose repeated as SoCon Player of the Year to become the only player in program history to garner the award twice, let alone consecutively. Rose was also a First-Team All-SoCon Selection, and Annabelle Schultz earned SoCon All-Defensive Team honors alongside a Third-Team All-SoCon nod. Evangelia Paulk and Maddie Heiss were both named to the SoCon All-Freshman Team, and Paulk was named the SoCon Freshman of the Year to become just the third recipient in program history. Wofford led the SoCon in numerous categories, including assist/turnover ratio (0.98), defensive rebounds per game (27.2), scoring offense (66.6), three-point attempts per game (25.0), three-point percentage defense (25.4), three-pointers per game (7.8), turnover margin (+2.83) and turnovers per game (12.1).  The Terriers continued to rise to unprecedented heights under Garrity in the 2022-23 campaign with a 22-10 overall record and a 10-4 Southern Conference clip. The 22 wins are a new program record for Wofford's Division I era and the first 20-win season at the D-I level. The 10-4 SoCon record was enough to claim the SoCon Regular Season Championship, the first for not just the program but for any Wofford women's team sport. Wofford accomplished more historic firsts during the season, including a road win at Mercer and a season series sweep of the Bears. The Terriers notched a seven-game win streak from Nov. 16 to Dec. 5 early in the season, a new D-I era record for consecutive wins. The Terriers were stout at home, going 11-2 in the Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium, tying for the most home wins in program history. On the road, Wofford was just as good with a 9-7 clip, a new program record for road wins. At the conclusion of the season, Garrity was named SoCon Coach of the Year by the media, the first coach in program history to earn the award. Rachael Rose was tabbed SoCon Player of the Year by the coaches, just the second player in program history to garner the distinction. Rose was named to the All-SoCon First Team, with Jackie Carman (second team) and Lilly Hatton (third team) also being recognized. Helen Matthews was named to the All-Defensive Team. Wofford made its second-ever apperance in the SoCon Championship Game before falling short to Chattanooga, but a record four Terriers earned SoCon All-Tournament honors: Rose, Carman, Hatton and Matthews. Wofford made its second-straight appearance in the WNIT to end the campaign, falling short at Florida despite coming within one shot of the Gators. The Terriers paced the league in assist/turnover ratio (1.09), fouls per game (14.1), scoring offense (69.7), steals per game (7.7), threes made per game (8.4), turnover margin (+5.53) and turnovers per game (10.3). That turnovers average of 10.3 was third-fewest in the entire nation.  The 2021-22 season saw the team continue to reach new heights with a 17-14 overall record and an 11-3 SoCon mark. The 17 overall victories are the most at the Division I level in program history (fourth overall), and the 11-3 SoCon record is also the program's best ever. The team achieved a plethora of historic firsts, including road wins at Furman and Chattanooga and season series sweeps of Furman, Samford and Chattanooga. The season opened with the program's first Preseason WNIT Classic appearance with three games in Raleigh, N.C., including one against the host No. 5 NC State Wolfpack. Upon the conclusion of the regular season, Jackie Carman was named All-SoCon First Team by the coaches and media, and Lilly Hatton earned second-team honors by both. Niyah Lutz and Alexis Tomlin garnered third-team selections from the media. Reagan Rapert was named to the SoCon All-Freshman and All-Defensive Teams. The Terriers led the SoCon in scoring offense (66.2 PPG), free throw percentage (74.6%) and assist/turnover ratio (0.9).  The squad entered the Southern Conference Tournament as the No. 2 seed, its highest seeding ever. After a first-round win over No. 7 ETSU 66-54, the Terriers fell to No. 3 Furman in the semifinals in a close 59-64 contest. Alexis Tomlin and Jackie Carman earned All-Tournament nods on the first and second teams, respectively. The season was not over after the SoCon Tournament, as the Terriers made their first-ever appearance in the WNIT, which was the program's first postseason appearance at the Division I level. Wofford played at Middle Tennessee in the first round. During the 2020-21 season, the team was 13-11 overall and 7-7 in Southern Conference play. Highlights included a home win over Furman and a series sweep of East Tennessee State. Following the regular season, Lilly Hatton was named to the All-SoCon Second Team by both the coaches and media, while Jamari McDavid was named to the All-SoCon Third Team by the media and was the recipient of the Ann Lashley Inspiration Award. Among SoCon teams, the Terriers were ranked first in rebounding margin (+3.8), fourth in scoring offense (62.5 ppg) and third in scoring defense (61.3 ppg). In the Southern Conference Tournament, the team entered as the #4 seed. After a 78-66 win over #5 seed UNCG, the Terriers earned a 75-64 victory against #8 seed East Tennessee State in the semifinals. With the Terriers in the championship game for the first time in school history, Wofford was defeated by #2 seed Mercer. Lilly Hatton and Helen Matthews were named to the All-Tournament Team. The 2019-2020 season saw the team finish with its best conference record in program history (8-6). They started the season with a last second loss against Auburn, but that showed promise for the year. The Terriers won convincingly against Mercer on 1/11/20 for the first time since 1997.  Wofford recorded their first road conference win against ETSU, which started a four-game win streak. Another history marker was when the squad won its first ever game at Samford, defeating them 69-63. By the end of the year, Lilly Hatton was honored as Freshman of the Year, along with Chloe Wanink, Da’Ja Green, and Cairo Booker receiving All-Conference accolades as well. The 2018-19 season marked the turning point for Wofford women’s basketball, as Garrity led the team to their first winning season since the 2001-02 campaign with a 16-15 overall record and 7-7 SoCon mark in his third year at the helm. They earned their highest SoCon tournament seed since 2002 as a No. 5 seed, while Garrity earned his first SoCon tournament win in the quarterfinals with a upset victory over No. 4 seed ETSU, 75-66. The win marked the first playoff win since the 2011-12 season and first semifinals appearance since 2002. Garrity led the team to the program’s second best home record (12-1) while also landing a program-best five Terriers on all-conference teams: Chloe Wanink (First Team), Da’Ja Green (Second/Third Team), Cairo Booker (Third/All-Defensive Team), Niyah Lutz and Jackie Carman (All-Freshman Team). Additionally, the team led the SoCon in scoring offense (72.8 ppg), 3-point field goal percentage (.350), and turnover margin (+4.48), while becoming the highest scoring team (2,258 pts - 857 made field goals) and best 3-point shooting team (35.0% - 180 made threes) in program history. Garrity led the Terriers to a 10-20 record in 2017-18. After losing star guard Chloe Wanink to a season-ending knee injury seven games into the season, Garrity lead a group of young players through the transition from high school to college ball. Despite a record of 10-20 and 3-11 in the conference, the Terriers played numerous close games and picked up just the program’s eighth win all-time against Furman in a dominant 79-48 victory over the Paladins. Freshman guard Da’Ja Green was named Second-Team All Conference and joined her teammate and fellow freshman Jamari McDavid on the All-Freshman team. In Garrity’s first season at the helm he led the Terriers to a 13-17 record overall and helped Wofford win six games away from Spartanburg, a vast improvement from the 2015-16 season when the Terriers won just one game on the road. Chloe Wanink was named All-Southern Conference Second Team as she averaged 16 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. In the three year prior to his arrival at Wofford, Garrity serves as head coach at Anderson University. From 2013-15, Anderson reached the NCAA Division II Tournament twice as an at-large selection and in 2015 advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. At Anderson, Garrity coached two South Atlantic Conference Players of the Year. In 2015-16, the Trojans were 23-7 overall, including a 79-55 win over Clemson to open the year. They were the South Atlantic Conference regular season champions with an 18-4 record and were nationally ranked in the top 25. The squad was an at-large selection to the NCAA Tournament. As the #5 seed, they advanced to the second round after a win over #4 seed Clayton State. Senior forward Jennifer Monroe was named the SAC Player of the Year and first team All-Southeast Region. Junior guard Heather Jankowy earned SAC second team honors. Stringing together one of the program’s best seasons in 2014-15, Garrity was tabbed South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year. Garrity led the Trojans to a 27-5 overall record and a berth into the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. Prior to the postseason run, Garrity became the first coach in conference history to win 20 league games, finishing the season with a 20-2 SAC record and a regular-season championship. Garrity also saw point guard Sierra Simpson earn SAC Player of the Year and SAC first team honors. In his first season at Anderson in 2013-14, Garrity led the Trojans to a 16-14 overall record and an 11-11 mark in SAC play. Anderson placed three players on all-conference teams, including Simpson’s All-SAC second team honor and Alexis Dillard’s all-freshman team spot. Garrity spent the 2012-13 season at Clemson University as the women’s basketball assistant coach. With the Tigers, Garrity was in charge of scouting, practice planning, game scheduling, coordinating of the guards, community service and alumni relations. Garrity also monitored the academic success of the student-athletes. Before his time at Clemson, Garrity spent a decade in various capacities with the UNC Wilmington basketball program. He was hired as the Director of Basketball Operations in 2002 for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams. Once the position spilt into two different roles, Garrity took over just the women’s side while also becoming an assistant coach in 2007. Continuing his tenure with UNCW, Garrity was promoted to the associate head coach role in 2011 and coached his team to the second round of the WNIT. Garrity graduated from Elon in 1989 with a degree in business administration and marketing and later earned a Master’s in sports administration from St. Thomas University in Miami, Fla. in 1990. Garrity is married to Jenny Garrity, who served as UNCW’s women’s tennis coach for 13 seasons. The couple have three children - daughter Kacey Rugg (husband Mark), who is the Director of Development for the Gamecock Club at South Carolina; son Corey, who played tennis at Anderson University and is now a student assistant coach for the Trojans women's basketball program; and daughter Carly, who is currently a student at Wofford and a constant presence at Terrier games.

During the regular season, Wofford defeated Virginia 71-70 for just the second Power Five win in program history and the first over an ACC foe.

Evangelia Paulk was named SoCon Freshman of the Year, just the third player in program history to claim the recognition.

Rachael Rose was named SoCon Player of the Year and was joined on the All-SoCon Teams by Jackie Carman and Lilly Hatton with Helen Matthews garnering All-Defensive Team honors. As the No. 1 seed, Wofford reached the SoCon Championship for just the second time ever and the second time in three seasons while returning the WNIT for a second consecutive season of postseason play. The Terriers set a new single-season program record for three-pointers made with 268 and won a D-I era record seven-straight games early in the season. Merrill helped guide the Terriers to new heights in the 2021-22 campaign, which saw Wofford finish 17-14 overall and 11-3 in Southern Conference action. The 17 wins are the fourth most in program history overall and the most at the Division I level, and the 11 league wins are also a program record. All five members of the starting lineup earned some kind of All-Southern Conference honor at the conclusion of the regular season, including Jackie Carman (First Team) and Lilly Hatton (Second Team). Niyah Lutz and Alexis Tomlin garnered Third Team nods, and Reagan Rapert was selected to the All-Defensive and All-Freshman squads. The Terriers earned the No. 2 seed for the SoCon Tournament, their highest ever, and they concluded the season with their first-ever WNIT appearance.  During the 2020-21 season, the team was 13-11 overall and 7-7 in Southern Conference play. Following the regular season, Lilly Hatton was named to the All-SoCon Second Team by both the coaches and media, while Jamari McDavid was named to the All-SoCon Third Team by the media and was the recipient of the Ann Lashley Inspiration Award.

By the end of the year, Lilly Hatton was honored as Freshman of the Year, along with Chloe Wanink, Da’Ja Green, and Cairo Booker receiving All-Conference accolades as well. Merrill was instrumental in helping lead the 2018-19 team to the program’s fifth best finish in program history, while also helping land a program-best five Terriers on all-conference teams: Chloe Wanink (First Team), Da’Ja Green (Second/Third Team), Cairo Booker (Third/All-Defensive Team), Niyah Lutz and Jackie Carman (All-Freshman Team). Da’Ja Green earned All-SoCon second team honors and All-Freshman Team honors for the 2017-18 season in addition to Jamari McDavid being named to the All-Freshman team. In his first season at Wofford, guard Chloe Wanink was named All-Southern Conference second team. Prior to Wofford, Merrill was on Garrity’s staff at Anderson University for three seasons. Merrill helped lead the Trojans to an overall record of 66-26 and was promoted to Associate Head Coach in February of 2016. During his time at Anderson, Merrill helped produce nine All-SAC selections, two SAC Players of the Year (Sierra Simpson, 2015 and Jennifer Monroe, 2016) and two All-Southeast region selections (2015- Sierra Simpson 2nd team and 2016- Jennifer Monroe 1st team). The 2015-16 Trojans finished with a 23-7 record, SAC regular season champions (18-4), SAC Tournament Runner-up, NCAA Division II 2nd round and a top-25 national ranking. The year prior, Merrill assisted in one of the most successful seasons in Anderson University history. The 2014-15 Trojans finished 27-5 overall, 20-2 in the SAC and were SAC regular season champions, SAC Tournament runner-up and advanced to the NCAA Division II Sweet 16. The 20 conference wins still stands as a SAC regular season record.

Merrill received his Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education from UNC Wilmington in 2007 and a Masters of Arts in Sports Management from North Carolina State in 2015.  Merrill is married to the former Molly Pyles, who played volleyball at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Destiny Thomas

Assistant Coach

Wofford College women’s basketball head coach Jimmy Garrity announced the addition of Desitny Thomas to his coaching staff in May 2025. Thomas joins the Terriers as an assistant coach after prior stints at Tulane, Anderson, and Jacksonville State, including the last two years with the Gamecocks.   “We are thrilled to welcome Destiny Thomas to the Wofford Women’s Basketball family,” said Garrity. “Destiny has excelled at every stop in her career—from her playing days at Clemson to her coaching roles at Tulane, Anderson, and most recently Jacksonville State. During her interview, she had a chance to connect with our team, and the response was overwhelmingly positive—our players were genuinely excited when they heard she was joining us. Destiny is a perfect fit for our culture, and we feel like we hit a home run with this hire. We’re excited for the future with her on board.” In her first year with the Terriers, Thomas helped the team post a record of 16-13 with a 10-4 mark in Southern Conference play. The team claimed its second-ever Southern Conference Regular Season Championship after its third season in program history with double-digit wins in conference play. Thomas helped guide Gabby Mundy to the fourth Southern Conference Freshman of the Year award in program history, while earning a spot on both the SoCon All-Freshman team and All-SoCon First Team. Queen Ikhiuwu also joined Mundy on the All-SoCon First Team. That marks the second year in a row Wofford has had two players on the first team. The Terriers led the conference in turnovers per game (12.9), three-point percentage defense (27.4), rebounds per game (39.9), defensive rebounds per game (27.9), free throw percentage (75.9), and was second in scoring offense (65.8).   Thomas joined Jacksonville State in August of 2023 and has spent each of the last two seasons with the Gamecocks under the tutelage of coach Rick Pietri. This past season, Thomas helped coach Clara Gonzalez Planella to CUSA Sixth Player of the Year honors.   No stranger to the Upstate, Thomas spent the 2022-23 season with Division II Anderson University. She helped guide the Trojans to an 18-13 campaign, including 10 league victories and an appearance in the South Atlantic Conference Championship Game. In her time in Anderson, she coordinated recruiting efforts, provided on-floor coaching and development, and assisted in opponent scouting reports for a successful Division II program. Furthermore, she played a hand in the development of Second-Team All-SAC performer Diamond McDowell and SAC All-Freshman Team selection Ashlyn Sheridan.   Prior to landing her first full-time coaching job, Thomas spent one year as a graduate assistant at Tulane University. She was on the staff in the 2021-22 season when the Green Wave secured 21 wins and advanced to the American Athletic Conference Quarterfinals before topping her future employer Jacksonville State in the first round of the WNIT.   Thomas played collegiately for Clemson’s women’s basketball team over four seasons. As a guard with the Tigers, she appeared in 119 games from 2017-21, helping Clemson reach the NCAA Tournament in the 2018-19 campaign with a WNIT appearance in the 2020-21 season. She was a multi-time ACC Honor Roll honoree.   Thomas worked youth basketball camps at her alma mater in 2018 and 2019 and volunteered at Pelham (Ga.) High School’s summer basketball camps in 2018.   The Pelham, Georgia, native graduated from Clemson University in just three years, earning a bachelor’s degree in sports communication in 2020 before adding a master’s degree in athletic leadership from Clemson in August 2021. She added another master’s degree in sport studies from Tulane in 2022.
