PHILADELPHIA – Janet E. and Barry C. Burkholder Family Women's Basketball Head Coach Amy Mallon has named Stephen Perretta as Assistant Coach/Operations. Perretta comes to Drexel after spending a season with the Iona Gaels.

"We are very excited to have Stephen join us for this upcoming season," Mallon said. "The experience he will bring along with his tremendous work ethic will truly impact our program.

He is no stranger to college women's basketball as Stephen began attending college practices at a young age with his father, Harry Perretta, the Head Villanova Women's Basketball Coach from 1978-2020, where he gained a passion and love for the game that shows in his everyday approach to teaching the game"
During his time in New York, Perretta was responsible for developing guards and scouting for the Gaels. As a recruiting coordinator, he ensured that the team operated within the NCAA's Compliance legislature.
Perretta made his coaching debut as a Graduate Assistant for FDU, where he was responsible for scouting reports and recruiting for the Knights. He also helped plan and organize the teams' travel plans. In his second season, Perretta was elevated to an assistant coach role. As an assistant coach, Perretta was responsible for practice times, lifting times and the development of the guards.
Perretta earned a bachelor's degree in communication from Villanova in 2021 and a master's degree from FDU in sport management in 2024.
Mallon also announced the addition of Brooke Mullin, who will work with the team for the 2024-25 season as a graduate student. Mullin played on the team during the 2023-24 season and helped the program win its third CAA postseason title.
