In the 2013-14 season the Aggies saw an eight win improvement in their overall record, three All-Conference selections, and led the LSC with 7.5 three-pointers per game. The Aggies also broke program records for their best three-point percentage, and most three pointers in a season.
The 2011-12 season was a historic one for the Aggie women’s basketball team. Webb led them to a program record 11 Lone Star Conference wins, a 10 game winning streak, and the eventual LSC Conference Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, Sabelle Diata, and LSC Newcomer of the Year, Julie Paunovic, were under the coaching of Webb.
