College Roundup : Brea-Olinda’s Egan Commits to Cal Poly Pomona

It was reported in Thursday’s Times that Brea-Olinda High School guard Carrie Egan, who will attend Cal Poly Pomona next year on a basketball scholarship, was promised a position as a fifth-year graduate assistant on Coach Darlene May’s staff.
Egan later clarified that the position had not been promised her, but that she and May had simply discussed the matter.
“It was actually a pretty easy decision,” Egan said. “I’ve followed Pomona since the eighth grade. I think Coach (Darlene) May is the greatest.”
May is the winningest women’s coach in Division II with a 312-78 record in 12 years. Pomona won the NCAA’s first Division II national championship in 1982 and won national titles in 1985 and 1986.
Egan, who said she hopes to be a college coach, has been promised a position as a fifth-year graduate assistant on May’s staff.
