Carolyn Guyton was named head women's coach at Christopher Newport, replacing ten-year head coach Cathy Parson, now interim head coach with the WNBA's Washington Mystics. Guyton, who was also named assistant to the athletic director for academic support, is the former interim head coach and assistant at Hampton and an assistant coach at Texas.

"I'm really excited about joining the winning tradition at Christopher Newport," said Guyton. "I'm ready to jump right in and continue that tradition, and maybe even go a little further. I'd love to see a national championship maybe a little further down the road."

Guyton takes over a CNU program which has made six NCAA Tournament appearances in the decade and finished 24-4 last season.
