University of Chicago assistant women's basketball coach Olivia Lett was recently picked as a Thirty Under 30 honoree by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).

The squad reached the second round of the tournament and defeated six nationally-ranked opponents over the course of the season. UChicago was voted the University Athletic Association (UAA) Coaching Staff of the Year, and head coach Carissa Sain Knoche was also selected as the D3hoops.com Central Region Coach of the Year.
