MATT DONOHUE

Head Coach

The Catholic women's basketball program leader in wins, Donohue enters his 17th season as the head women's basketball coach in 2024-25.

Donohue has totaled 415 career wins and has led his teams to 10 20-win seasons. Donohue is three wins shy of 300 for his Catholic career, winning 20 or more games seven times as the leader of the Cardinals.

A four-time Landmark Conference Coach of the Year, Donohue has coached 36 all-conference selections, including four Players of the Year, two Defensive Players of the Year and two Rookie of the Year honorees. Three of Donohue's players were named to the Landmark All-Decade Team (2010-2019), the most of any school in the conference. With Donohue at the helm, the program has seen nine all-region selections and seven All-America nods.

Donohue added his fourth career Landmark Coach of the Year honor in 2024 as the Cardinals went on a historic run, finishing 26-3, just one win shy of the all-time program record set in 2012-13. Catholic reached as high as #8 in both the D3hoops and WBCA polls as it won its first 20 contests. Despite falling in the Landmark Conference title game to #7 Scranton, Catholic was selected as an at-large team in the NCAA Tournament, defeating Penn State Behrend before falling in the Second Round to #19 Washington & Lee. Catholic won its second-ever NCAA Tournament contest in 2024 and its first since 2013.

A 1994 graduate of Centenary College, Donohue began his coaching career at North Arlington High School in New Jersey before spending three years at Mt. Olive High School. At North Arlington, he led the team to two conference championships while earning two Coach of the Year honors in four seasons.

Donohue resides in Gambrills, Md., with his wife Laurie, sons Ryan and Brayden, and their daughter Emma.
