Coleman (Portland, Conn.) earned a bachelor's degree in applied exercise science in 2015, and continued on for a Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree in 2018. She played in all 118 games for the women's basketball squad during her time at UNE (2011-15), including three as a starting forward. Coleman amassed 1,508 points (12.8/game), 762 rebounds (6.5/game), and made 364 free throws (76.2%), which puts her fifth, eighth, and fifth, respectively, in the program's all-time totals. Following a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) first team honor as a sophomore (2012-13), she averaged a personal-best 17.7 points/game as a junior to land first team All-New England accolades on top of another CCC first team nod (also the 2013-14 Maine Player of the Year). Coleman's decorated career concluded with a fourth team All-America pick and the 2014-15 CCC Player of the Year (UNE's most-recent of five such awards, to-date), to go with her second all-region recognition, and third all-conference. The Nor'easters went 98-20 overall (67-5 CCC) in those four years, highlighted by CCC Championships in 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15, along with the University's first at-large selection into an NCAA field (2011-12). While the program advanced to the second round of the national championship three times, Coleman recorded UNE's top two game scoring performances (32, 28) and the leading rebounding effort (14) during NCAA postseason competition.
