Scarlett Glasser-Nehls was promoted to assistant coach of Rider women’s basketball in June of 2026. Glasser-Nehls previously served as the Broncs director of basketball operations during the 2025-26 season.
Glasser-Nehls played a key role in the development of Aliya McIver, who completed 64 steals across the 2025-26 season, 46 of which came in MAAC conference play. For her efforts on the court, McIver was named to the MAAC All-Defensive team.
Joining the staff following a five-year playing career at Arcadia, Glasser-Nehls’ final three seasons came under the command of Hartzell. As a player, Glasser-Nehls was just the eighth player in program history to reach 1,000 career points, earning ALL-MAC Freedom Honorable Mention in 2024-25 as a graduate student.
“It’s always special when you are able to have a former player join your coaching staff,” said Hartzell. “Scarlett is a relentless worker and the ultimate competitor. Her attention to detail and organization skills will be a tremendous asset to our coaching staff.” Upon her elevation to assistant coach, Hartzell added, “Scarlett has been a tremendous asset to our program since arriving at Rider. She is an extremely hard worker, as loyal as they come, and someone who is eager to continue learning and growing as a coach. Her dedication to our student-athletes and our program has not gone unnoticed, and this promotion is very well deserved.”
