Stephanie Gehlhausen came to Marshall in 2024 with head coaching experience, after serving as Lander University's head coach from 2022-24. There, she led Lander to an 11-win turnaround from year one to year two while seeing the Team GPA improve from 2.9 when she arrived to 3.43 at the time of her exit.

Prior to her first season, Gehlhausen brought in 10 players to fill out the roster, which paid dividends in year two as the Bearcats produced the Peach Belt Conference's 2023-24 Player of the Year and All-Region team member, as well as a Second-Team All-Peach Belt selection while making it into the top-10 in every NCAA Division II Region Poll.

Before leading the program at Lander, Gehlhausen spent four seasons as the associate head coach at Ashland University where she implemented Ashland's defensive system, which helped lead the team to an undefeated 2019-20 season at 31-0. That season earned Gehlhausen the WBCA Division II National Assistant of the Year award.
