Rosemont has announced the hiring of Rayne Reber as women's basketball head coach, effective immediately. Reber has spent four seasons as an assistant for the Ravens.

Reber replaces Andy McGovern, who stepped down last month after 13 seasons as Ravens head coach. He was 122-192 at Rosemont and 223-280 in his head coaching career, which included two years at Temple.

Rosemont was 12-13 this past season, 10-6 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference.

Reber is "excited to start working with this group of hard-working ladies." Starting off, she is focusing on recruiting, "to get new players into the program. I'm lucky enough to have built relationships with the team and the college since 2010, and I want to expand that to build relationships with our incoming freshmen. I love the Rosemont College family and community and look forward to becoming a bigger part of it."
