Danielle Spiliotis Announced as Women's Basketball Assistant Coach

"I am excited about the addition of Dani to our staff. Her ties to the Northeast will really help in recruiting.  I think she will really embrace her role as the recruiting coordinator. Dani is a driven individual with tremendous interpersonal skills. I look forward to watching her grow as a coach and a mentor." 

Spiliotis played professionally overseas until April 2022. She spent six years living, coaching, and playing in Greece for the Hellenic Basketball Federation. In her first year as a pro, she quickly earned a spot in the starting lineup and became one of the team's primary scoring threats.  

Spiliotis began her coaching career with Dartmouth College in September of 2019. As assistant coach she focused on post player development, scouted potential players, and coordinated direct care for student-athletes with psychologists and administrators. She also mentored several of her players with whom she met weekly.

Spiliotis was a four year starter and captain at Cedarville University where she graduated with a bachelor's in Worship Arts and Music. She recently studied at Liberty University where she graduated with her master's in Mental Health, and Wellness in 2018 and earned a master's in clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2023.   

Spiliotis is excited to dive in and work under Coach Way. She believes, "The leadership Way provides will not only move this program in an upward progression but will make everyone on board better people."    

"I am excited to begin with these young women and coaches as we embark on a journey together. Their willingness to grow on and off the court is what I am most excited about. I hope to provide the young women of this program an experience they deserve." 

When she is not on the court Spiliotis works as a Mental Health Therapist out of New York helping individuals explore sensitive topics, triggering events and emotional burdens negatively impacting the quality of their day-to-day lives.
