While at DePauw, Davis lettered in basketball for four years and helped lead her squad to four consecutive Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference championships. The Lady Tigers made two trips to the NCAA tournament during her tenure and, in 2001-02, finished third in the nation.

In addition to coaching experience gained at Pembroke, Davis served one season as head coach for Indy West AAU’s 16 and under girls’ basketball team in Plainfield, Ind. She has also worked as an instructor at several camps, including those held by the University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s College.
