Mike Power is in his fifth consecutive and 11th overall season as the head coach of the Briar Cliff women's basketball program. Power has led the Chargers to an overall record of 188-141 and four NAIA National Tournament appearances. His teams have advanced to the NAIA Fab Four twice, including last season.

In 1996, Power led the Chargers to Briar Cliff's first-ever NAIA National Tournament appearance.  The following year, the women's basketball team produced an undefeated (34-0) regular season, a school-record 37 wins, and a second-straight NAIA National Tournament appearance.
