"I am thrilled to be joining Coach Walters' staff and am thankful for the opportunity that she and Don Oberhelman have given me," Manguiat said. "Having coached against Cal Poly, I have seen what kind of team Coach Walters has put together and am excited to be part of it. This is a staff that cares about their players and their development both on and off the court. The opportunity to be coaching in a gym at this level and be closer to my family is such an amazing privilege."
