Originally from Forsyth, Montana, Kori graduated from South Dakota School of Mines & Technology in Rapid City, SD in 1998, earning a BA in Interdisciplinary Sciences.  As a member of the Hardrocker’s women’s basketball team, she played for longtime head coach Barb Felderman, earning 1st-team NAIA All-American honors, three NAIA national tournament appearances and holding the all-time scoring record from 1997-2000 with 1,934 points.  Kori had been the top assistant at Mesa since 1999 during which the Lady Thunderbirds finished 7th in the nation in 2001-02 at Hagerstown, MD and 5th in 2004-05 in Phoenix. 

During Kori’s tenure at Mesa, 30 players have gone to play at NCAA Division I, II and NAIA schools throughout the country.  With extensive recruiting efforts throughout the Valley she has established a range of upcoming talent to complement her returning sophomores, resulting in a solid recruiting class for 2011-12. 

Coach Stephenson looks to take her Lady Thunderbirds to the playoffs for the sixth consecutive time in her six seasons at the helm.
