Greiner made her mark in the MIAC behind the bench for St. Thomas where she was the top assistant coach for six seasons. During her time at UST she helped guide the Tommies to a pair of MIAC regular season championships, four conference playoff title teams and six straight trips to the MIAC playoffs.
