Siena’s all-time career (308) and single-season (98 in 2014-15) record holder for steals, Coles was named the MAAC nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year, the Siena College Female Student Athlete of the Year, and the MAAC Defensive Player of the Year following her senior season in 2014-15. A local product from right in Loudonville, she graduated as one of just four players in MAAC Women’s Basketball history to eclipse 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 300 steals, and 250 assists for her career.
 
Coles scored 1,199 career points and currently ranks fifth in program history in free throws made (353) and ninth in free throw percentage (.772). She was named a 2014-15 Second Team All-MAAC selection after leading the MAAC in steals (2.9 – 21st nationally) and ranking third in the conference in free throw percentage (.836), and sixth in scoring (13.2). A two-time captain, Coles was heralded a 2015 Women’s Basketball Invitational All-Tournament Team selection after leading the Saints to the WBI Championship Game to cap the program’s first winning season in 11 years and most victories in a dozen seasons.  
 
Coles completed her undergraduate degree in just three years, and received her M.S. in Accounting from Siena in 2015. A consummate student athlete, she was a three-time MAAC Academic Honor Roll selection and a 2014 Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sports Scholar. Coles still lives in the Capital Region, where she serves at the director for enterprise relationship management at The Ayco Company. She is also a television analyst for both Siena Women’s Basketball and the MAAC Basketball Championships.
