Liz Honegger is in her 14th year as Director of Basketball Operations with the Indiana Women’s Basketball program in 2025-26.
Honegger, who played at Bowling Green State University, is a native of the Hoosier state and a former Indiana High School All Star. She arrived in Bloomington after spending two seasons as an assistant coach at West Virginia University Institute of Technology. Prior to that, she worked at the high school level as a girls’ varsity basketball coach and volunteered for seven years with the high school senior Indiana All-Star team with its preparation for the annual series against the Kentucky All Stars.
She was inducted into the BGSU Athletics Hall of Fame in September 2018 after finishing her playing career as one of the most decorated players in program history. During her four years, the Falcons went 103-25 (.805), won the Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular season title and conference tournament championship three times, while playing in the MAC tournament title game in each of her four years.
During her senior season in 2006-07, Honegger helped lead BGSU to a 31-4 record, including NCAA Tournament victories over Oklahoma State and Vanderbilt to account for the first Sweet Sixteen appearance ever by a MAC women's team. The Lafayette, Ind., native started 127 of 128 games at Bowling Green, starting in every contest of her career except the first one.
Honegger finished her college career as the school's record holder in 3-point field goals made (216) and blocked shots (188). She is the only player in NCAA Division I women's basketball history to hold both of those school career records at the same time.
She finished her collegiate career ranked fifth all-time at Bowling Green in scoring (1,522 points), fourth in rebounding (903), sixth in career steals (202) and tied for sixth in field goals made (556). She was twice named second team All-MAC, was a two-time MAC All-Tournament Team selection and also earned Academic All-MAC distinction.
Away from the court, Honegger was also a member of BGSU's track and field team, where she was a conference champion in the discus in 2004.
Prior to her stop at Bowling Green, Honegger was a four-year letterwinner at Lafayette Jefferson High School, where she was a first team all-state selection by both the Associated Press and the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sport Association. She earned an Indiana All Star nod after leading the Bronchos to a 17-5 record as a senior while averaging a double-double with 24.4 points and 12. 8 rebounds per game.
Honegger was inducted into the Indiana High School Track and Field Hall of Fame in February 2014. She was a state champion in both shot put and discus during her prep career.
Honegger resides in Bloomington with her wife, Amanda. They are the proud mothers of their dog child, Hootie Ulysses Honegger, age 13.
