Coaching Staff
Castelli guided the Saints to their second straight postseason
appearance (WNIT) and added another 23 wins to the record
book. Siena set a school record, tallying a 19-game winning
streak in 2003. During that season, the Saints advanced to the
Second Round of the WNIT and completed a third straight 20-win
season, the longest streak since the program turned Division I.
The 1993-94 campaign marked a breakthrough for both Castelli
and the program. The Saints finished the year with a program-
best 24-4 record. Three years later, the women posted a 17-game
winning streak and another MAAC regular-season champion -
ship. The very next season (1998-99), the Saints tallied their
second consecutive 20-win season. In 2000-01 Castelli mentored
the squad to a program-record 17-1 conference record.
Castelli was asked to lead the Siena women’s basketball program
into the ’90s. She brilliantly achieved this and more. At the time
of her hiring, former athletic director William Kirsch explained,
“Gina’s a very knowledgeable basketball person and the
continuity and stability she will give our program is important.”
Entering her 20th season, Castelli has proved just that and
continues to bring the program to new heights.
A 1986 graduate of Canisius, Castelli finished her career as one
of the greatest players in school history, ranking third in scoring
(1,524 points), assists (578) and steals (273). She was inducted
into the Golden Griffin
Hall of Fame in 1997.
