Cates helped take the Cougars to new heights during the 2025-26 season as the Cougars won two conference titles and made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. Before winning the 2026 CAA Tournament, the Cougars went 16-2 in CAA play and won the 2025-26 CAA Regular Season Championship by three games. The Cougars' 16 conference wins set another Division I program milestone.
She helped guide four Cougars to Coastal Athletic Association postseason honors for the 2025-26 season. Charleston won three major awards as Taryn Barbot earned the CAA Player of the Year award for the second year in a row, Grace Ezebilo garnered the Defensive Player of the Year award and Head Coach Robin Harmony was named the CAA Coach of the Year. Additionally, Taylor Barbot made the All-CAA First Team.
Cates joins the Cougars from Mississippi College, where she served as a student assistant coach to the women’s basketball program for one season after working in AAU basketball beginning in 2023.
