With the season underway and armed with a contract extension, Mount St. Mary's women's basketball coach Antoine White is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

White chats with host Greg Swatek about his contract extension, which was just announced by the school this week and keeps him as the coach through the 2030-31 season. He talks about coming to the Mount as a coaching intern from the College of Southern Vermont, where he played for former Mount men's coach Dan Engelstad.

Coach White moved quickly up the ranks to the top assistant coach and then became head coach prior to the 2021-22 season. He promptly led the Mount women to a Northeast Conference championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

What were his first impressions of the place? Why was now the right time to extend his contract?

The Mountaineers opened their season Tuesday night with a 83-49 loss to Richmond, which is ranked No. 24 in the country. What were his impressions of that game? What are the keys for the Mount women this season as they try to win their first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship?

Prior to that conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the fall sports playoffs for Frederick County teams, which include state semifinals for field hockey, soccer and girls flag football, state cross championships this weekend at Hereford High School in Parkton and the first round of the regional football playoffs.
