Coach Patrece S. Carter is in her fourth season as head women's basketball coach at Louisiana College. One of the greatest female athletes in school history, Coach Carter was inducted into the Louisiana College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012 after one of the most successful careers in LC women's basketball history.

In her first season as head coach at LC in 2014-2015, Carter led her team to a 17-8 overall record with a 13-7 mark in conference play and a #3 seed in the American Southwest Conference Tournament. Despite not playing a home game in the H.O. West Fieldhouse until late January due to renovations taking place in the historic complex, Carter led her team to a perfect 6-0 record on the new floor in H.O. West as well a 9-1 overall mark in all home games, which included a 4 games played at "The Fort" on the campus of LSU-Alexandria.

As a player, Carter started her Lady Wildcat career off with a bang, as she was named the LC and ASC East Freshman of the year as well as ASC East Honorable Mention honors in her inaugural campaign in 2001. That set the stage for one of the finest careers in the history of Louisiana College women’s basketball.

A member of the 1,000 point club and still the holder of the single game scoring record with 45 points against the University of Texas-Tyler on January 5, 2004, Carter’s list of honors and awards put her in elite company in LC’s rich athletics history.

During Carter’s final three seasons, she was named 2^nd Team All-ASC as a sophomore (2002), 1^st Team All-ASC and an NCCAA Division 1 All-American as a junior (2003). During her senior season, Carter was the ASC’s leading scorer and ranked #4 in all of NCAA Division at 22.0 points per game. That season, she was named 2^nd Team All-Louisiana, 1^st Team All-ASC, D3Hoops.com All-South Region, the LC Female Athlete of the Year, a 2-time member of the D3hoops.com National Team of the Week, and a multiple time winner of the ASC women’s basketball Player of the Week.

Away from LC, Carter represented USA Athletes International, Inc., a team that won 1^st place in Holland in 2003. She took over the women’s basketball program at Winnfield High School in 2010 was an instant success. In only her second season as head coach, Carter led her team to the 2011 Class 2A State Championship, being named the Class 2A state Coach of the Year as well as the Central Louisiana Coach of the Year. She was also named the District 3-2A Coach of the Year in back-to-back-to-back seasons from 2010-2012 and was an assistant coach for the East team in the 2012 Louisiana High School Coach’s Association All-Star game.
