Dickens is in the midst of her first season as Emory & Henry's head coach following several seasons as an assist to current Director of Athletics, Anne Crutchfield. This is Dickens ninth year overall as a head coach. Her Wasps head to the ODAC Tournament as the top seed in the 10-team field and the lone ODAC squad ranked (6th) in the South Region by the Division III Women's Basketball Coaches Committee.
