Julie Goodenough enters her 14th year leading the Abilene Christian women’s basketball program in 2025-26 and is the longest-tenured coach on the Wildcats’ athletic staff.

Goodenough immediately transformed a program hindered by consecutive losing campaigns into conference champions, tallying seven 20-win seasons, three regular season conference titles and one conference tournament championship at ACU. Goodenough has steered the Wildcats to five postseason tournaments, including a 2019 trip to the NCAA Tournament in just the program’s sixth Division I season.

Across three leagues, she has coached 25 all-conference Wildcats alongside two Southland Conference Players of the Year.
