ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – University of New Mexico athletics director Ryan Berryman named Amy Eagan, from Lindenwood University, as the program’s seventh women’s basketball coach.
Berryman said Eagan brings six NCAA Tournament appearances and six conference titles to Albuquerque.
“We are thrilled to welcome Coach Eagan to New Mexico,” said Ryan Berryman.
“She has a long history of success, of championships, and being a leader of young women. We are excited to get the Coach Eagan era of Lobo Women’s Basketball underway,” said Berryman.
Eagan has a 329-191 career record with a .633 winning percentage and a 189-96 mark in conference games.
Over the last seven years, her teams posted a 165-57 record and a 104-30 conference record.
The 2026-27 season will be Eagan’s first at New Mexico and her 18th overall as a college head coach.
“It’s such an honor to be named the head coach at The University of New Mexico,” said Eagan. “I want to thank Ryan Berryman and Amy Beggin for their belief in me, and for this tremendous opportunity. I’m excited to be a part of a program with such a rich history and a passionate fan base. We aim to win Mountain West Championships and reach the NCAA Tournament with outstanding young women of character and community, and those goals will guide our program.”
Eagan is coming to UNM after three seasons at Lindenwood University, leading the program through its transition from Division II to Division I.
Eagan took a program that won just two games the year prior to her arrival to winning 23 games, advancing to the Ohio Valley Conference championship game, and advancing to the Super 16 of the WNIT in 2024-25.
Last season, the Lions tied for the Ohio Valley Conference championship, winning 50-49 over Western Illinois for the first Division I women’s basketball championship in Lindenwood’s history as the team advanced to a second straight OVC title game.
