PHILADELPHIA – La Salle head women's basketball coach Jeff Williams is pleased to announce the addition of Dalila Eshe to the staff as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.
 
"I'm very excited about Dalila joining our family here at La Salle," said Williams. "She has strong core values, which will allow her to be a great mentor to our young ladies."
 
Eshe joins the Explorers after spending two seasons as an assistant coach at East Carolina following a season as the Director of Operations at Loyola.
 
While at ECU, Eshe developed I'Tiana Taylor into the 2014-2015 American Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Year and a two-time AAC All-Conference selection. Eshe was also responsible for organizing all recruiting efforts as the Pirates brought in their first Top 50 recruiting class in 2016.
 
"Dalila is a gifted teacher and motivator," added Williams. "She also has a tremendous eye for talent, which will serve her well as she takes on the role of recruiting coordinator."
 
Eshe was a second round pick by the Seattle Storm in the 2006 WNBA draft out of the University of Florida. She later spent time in camp with the Washington Mystics in 2007 and the Atlanta Dream in 2008.
 
The Tallahassee, Fla., native continued her professional career overseas as a top-10 rebounder and scorer in Turkey's top international league from 2006-09. She also competed in the Euro Cup for the No. 1 team in Romania in 2008. In 2009-10, Eshe played in Russia before continuing on to leagues in the Czech Republic (2011), Portugal (2012), Germany (2012) and Ecuador (2013).
 
Eshe earned All-Southeastern Conference First Team honors as a senior at Florida, leading the Gators to 21 wins and an NCAA Tournament appearance. She earned a bachelor's degree in psychology.
