Charleston Falls to Duke in NCAA Tournament | Harmony Earns CAA Honor

The University of Pittsburgh has appointed Robin Harmony as its new head women’s basketball coach, the school announced Monday. Harmony arrives in Pittsburgh after a successful tenure at the College of Charleston, where she recently led the Cougars to an NCAA Tournament appearance.

Charleston concluded its season with an 81-64 loss to Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, following a championship run in the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Tournament. Harmony was named the 2026 CAA Coach of the Year, recognizing her team’s achievements. She set a program record for wins during her time at the College of Charleston.

Pitt’s decision to hire Harmony comes as the program seeks to revitalize its performance. The team has struggled recently, prompting the search for a new leader. Harmony’s success in building a competitive program at Charleston, culminating in an NCAA Tournament berth, made her a compelling candidate.

The College of Charleston won the CAA Tournament, securing an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, according to reports. Harmony’s departure marks the end of her tenure with the Cougars, where she established a winning culture and developed a strong team dynamic.
