Carley Kuhns joins the sidelines of the Belmont women's basketball program for her sixth season in 2015.  She serves as the team's academic coordinator, as well as works with compliance, player development, and recruiting.

Kuhns came to the Bruins after completing a two-year graduate assistantship at Valdosta State. While with the Lady Blazers, she assisted with various components of the program.  Within one month of joining the Bruin staff, Kuhns was named to the prestigious Gulf South Conference All-Decade Second Team for her stellar career on the hardwood at Valdosta State.

A former student-athlete at Valdosta State, Kuhns received numerous honors during her collegiate career, including becoming the first Lady Blazer since 2001 to be named a Kodak/State Farm WBCA Honorable Mention All-American. She also recorded 1,133 career points, the 16th-most ever recorded in program history and was a two-time First Team All-Gulf South Conference selection. Kuhns, a two-time captain, also helped VSU earn a trip to the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen during her senior campaign with a 26-6 overall record. She led the team in scoring, averaging 10.4 points per game, and shot .373 percent from behind the three-point arc that season.

Kuhns earned her Bachelor's in Physical Education from Valdosta State in 2008 and completed her Master's in Higher Education Leadership in 2010.

She will add another honor to her storied career, being officially inducted into the Valdosta State Athletic Hall of Fame in January 2015.

Carley and her husband Matt Kuhns welcomed their first child, Carsten Rae, in July 2013, and are expected their second in the Fall of 2015.
