Rutgers-Newark Athletics

Abby Iannotti is in her second season as a member of the Rutgers University-Newark women's basketball coaching staff in 2018-19.

Iannotti will be pursuing a graduate degree from Rutgers-Newark and will be helping Cieplicki in all aspects of the program. A graduate of Holy Family University in Philadelphia, Iannotti led her team to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances and a Central Athletic Collegiate Conference title in 2014-15. She was a 1,000-point scorer in college, twice earning All-CACC honors.
 
The Vermont native was a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee at Holy Family while maintaining a 3.3-plus grade-point average. Iannotti worked abroad in Costa Rica and Italy teaching basketball to youths, also serving as a counselor at the Mount Anthony Patriots Basketball Camp from 2009-2014.
 
Coach Cieplicki on Iannotti: I recruited Abby a few years back and was able to stay in contact with her throughout her college career. She played for one of my mentors in Mark Miller at national power Holy Family, and she has an exceptional work ethic. She is going to be a great asset here at Rutgers-Newark.
