Alisha Mosley was named the fifth head coach in Washington College women's basketball history in May 2013. Under her guidance, the Shorewomen have been one of the College's highest academic-achieving teams off the court and the most successful era in program history on the court. She also serves as the Assistant Athletic Director and Director of Compliance for the department. 
 
Washington College won a program-record 17 games in 2021-22 and finished 17-10 overall. The Shorewomen reached the Centennial Conference Tournament semifinals for just the second time in program history.   

In 2022-23, the Shorewomen reached consecutive conference tournaments for the first time in program history and reached the semifinal round of the Centennial Conference Tournament, finishing 14-13. 

The 2023-24 edition of the Shorewomen earned the program’s first-ever home Centennial Conference Tournament game and saw Mosley and her staff be named the Centennial’s Coaching Staff of the Year as the team earned a fourth-place finish in the CC after being picked eighth in the preseason poll. 

WC returned to the Centennial Conference Tournament in 2024-25 for the fourth consecutive year, matching the program mark for wins in a season with 17. The squad reached the semifinal round of the Centennial Tournament for the third time in four seasons. 

In the past four seasons, Mosley has coached seven All-Centennial selections.

Mosley, who had served as recruiting coordinator at Loyola University Maryland prior to her arrival in Chestertown, had been an assistant coach at the NCAA Division I level since 2001.  

As assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Loyola, Mosley managed the Greyhounds' recruiting efforts and budget, advised and monitored her team's academic progress, organized and managed various camps, coordinated community service activities, created in-depth scouting reports, and assisted with on-the-floor coaching. Mosley also got her start in collegiate coaching at Loyola as she first served as an assistant coach for the Greyhounds from 2001-2004. In between her two tenures at Loyola, she served one season as an assistant coach at Georgetown University.  

With Mosley on the sidelines, Loyola won its first-ever postseason game in 2011, recording a victory over Old Dominion in the first round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). The Greyhounds also finished second in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) that season and equaled the single-season school record by winning 21 games. She coached five All-MAAC players and two MAAC All-Rookie Team members, as well as the 2011 MAAC Defensive Player of the Year and the 2003 MAAC Rookie of the Year during her time at Loyola. 

During her collegiate playing days, Mosley was a standout performer at Division I Wake Forest University. As a senior, she was named an All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) honorable mention and her team's Most Valuable Player. As a freshman, she earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors and landed on the ACC's Rookie Team. When she graduated from Wake Forest, she ranked third all-time at the school in three-pointers made, eighth in free-throw percentage, and 10th in assists. She went on to play one year for the Atlanta Blackhawks, a semi-professional team in the since defunct National Women's Basketball League.  

Mosley was inducted into the Howard County Women's Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012. As a high school player at Mt. Hebron High School, she was a two-time Howard County Player of the Year and a two-time member of The Baltimore Sun's All-Metro team. She led the state of Maryland in scoring as a senior, pouring in 28.4 points per game and earning All-Maryland honors from USA Today. 

Mosley earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Wake Forest in 2000 and a Masters in Education, Administration and Supervision from Loyola in 2005. She was a Dean's List student at Wake Forest for four years in a row and was recognized with a Robin Roberts/Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Communication Scholarship. She completed internships at Channel 5 Television in Nashville and at Fox Sports Net in Atlanta. She has been a member of the WBCA since 2001 and a member of the Black Coaches Association (BCA) since 2007.Â
