Maya Wilson joins Tina Langley's staff after playing for Rice from 2014-17 and serving as a volunteer coach at her alma mater in 2021.
Wilson (formerly Maya Hawkins) completed her illustrious four-year career at Rice in 2017, earning MVP honors after leading the Owls to their first-ever post-season title, capturing the WBI crown. Wilson left Rice as the school’s all-time leader in three-point makes (164), three-point attempts (505), career free-throw percentage (.817) and fourth in career assists (421). She also tallied 1,003 points, which ranked 16th all-time in school history. She played in 109 games during her career, starting 98.
Upon graduation, Wilson spent three years teaching special education in the Dallas Independent School District where she was nominated for Teacher of the Year at the end of her first year and was named the department chair in her second year. She also served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) with Tarrant County where she was assigned cases and advocated to the court on behalf of children in foster care.
Wilson stayed active in basketball, forming a fourth and fifth grade girls basketball team in South Oak Cliff, Texas when she coached and mentored kids after school in 2019.
During the 2020-21 season Wilson served as a volunteer coach at Rice and assisted with the program’s team travel, equipment and supported the day-to-day needs of the program.
Wilson married her husband Nolan in June 2019. Nolan currently serves as the Huskies' Director of Analytics and Scouting.
