Chicago State hired Tiffany Sardin as coach Friday, hoping the former CPS and Virginia star can transform a struggling program in her hometown.
Chicago State has had nine straight losing seasons, failing to win more than six games a year in that span. Misty Opat resigned as coach last month after two seasons.
Sardin was a captain for three seasons at Virginia and helped lead the Cavaliers to a 71-53 record from 2002 to 2006. She played professionally in Portugal and spent the past two years as an assistant at Longwood University after stops on staffs at Illinois-Chicago , Boston University and Clemson.
