Alexander, who will work with the Colonials' guards, returns to her alma mater after a one-year stint on Susan Robinson-Fruchtl's staff at St. Francis-PA, where she worked with the Red Flash's guards and served as recruiting coordinator. Prior to St. Francis, Alexander spent three seasons as an assistant at George Mason under Debbie Taneyhill.
Alexander lettered for three seasons (1998-2001) at GW after beginning her collegiate career at George Mason, where she was the 1997 Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Year. Alexander, who averaged 9.4 points, 4.3 assists and 2.6 steals in 83 games during her three seasons at GW, was named Atlantic 10 Sixth Player of the Year and third team All-Conference as a junior in 2000 and second team All-Atlantic 10 as a senior in 2001. She led the Colonials to a 60-23 composite record and pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in 2000 and 2001. Alexander concluded her collegiate career with 1,187 points, 467 assists and 306 rebounds.
"Kristeena was an outstanding point guard during her playing career and I'm thrilled to have a coach with her experience teaching the position," said Bozeman. "We're looking for Kristeena to help our point guards mimic the career she had at GW."
Alexander earned her bachelor's degree in human services from GW in 2000 and has completed coursework toward a master's degree in human resource development.
Alexander played professionally as a member of the WNBA's Washington Mystics for one season (2003) and then overseas for a season in Denmark. She starred scholastically at powerhouse Christ the King High School in Queens, NY, where she was named WBCA and Nike All-American as a senior. In addition, Alexander earned City and State Player of the Year awards in her final season with the Royals, who won four state championships during her career.
