Her freshman year at Tulane was the same year Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding community. Langford and her teammates were displaced for the fall 2005 semester and had to take their classes at Texas Tech University.

On Dec. 18, 2005, Tulane women’s basketball became the first team to resume play in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. After finally being able to take the court, Langford wound up leading the Green Wave to four consecutive winning seasons, a regular season title in 2006-07 and the 2007 WNIT.

She will look to get her first win as the head coach of her alma mater Tuesday against Missouri.
