Her other professional stop was in the Dominican Republic, where she was named league MVP in the year she average 19.3 ppg and 11.1 rpg.

Iglehart's professional career followed a hall of fame caliber stint at Saddleback College that garnered the recruiting interest of NCAA DI Ohio University.

She went onto average eight points and five rebounds as a senior at Ohio and earned her bachelor's in retail merchandise with a minor in business.

From there, Iglehart’s studies zeroed in on coaching. She earned a masters' in sports psychology in 2011 and is currently working on her doctorate in advanced human behavior.

“I choose Biola is because I know it will help me in fulfilling God’s purpose for me, which is to help student-athletes while growing my relationship with Christ,” said Iglehart. “Also, working under the direction of Coach Alan is a blessing. I was recruited by him in High School and I'm happy to finally be working with him.”

Iglehart has seven other years of coaching experience, four of which took place in Southern California and the collegiate and high school. She coached a women’s 18 and under team for three years in Germany while playing professionally and returned to the US in 2014 to coach The Bishop’s School’s Girls Team. Iglehart moved onto the head position at San Diego Mesa College from 2015 to 2017 and an assistant position at Saddleback in 2017-18. 

Both of Iglehart’s teams at San Diego Mesa earned a Community Service award under her tutelage.
