2002-03 Season Notes: Was part of the starting lineup for Senior Night on Feb. 27 against Maryland ... UNC called a timeout on its first possession, eight seconds into the game, so that Coughran could come out of the game (she has not yet been medically cleared to play) ... Tore an ACL early in the first preseason practice ... Underwent surgery in November

2001-02 Season Notes: Came off the bench to play in 14 games ... On the court for three ACC games: Maryland on Jan. 30, Virginia on Jan. 27 and Florida State on Feb. 4 .... Also appeared in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals game against Maryland ... Scored the first points of her UNC career on a late basket against Harvard in the NCAA Tournament first round game ... Joined the team as a walk-on after serving as a manager during the 2000-01 season ... Awarded a scholarship for her senior year

At San Jose City College: Coached by Terri Oberg ... Started and earned all-conference honors both years she played ... Team captain as a sophomore

At Los Gatos High School in San Jose, Calif.: Team captain and second-team all-conference as a senior ... Varsity team MVP as a sophomore, junior and senior ... Named honorable mention all-conference as a junior ... As a freshman, served as captain of the junior varsity team and was voted MVP

Personal: Born May 24, 1980, in San Jose, Calif. ... The daughter of John and Marcia Coughran ... She has two older brothers, Josh and Kris ...
