Add another WNBA honor to the list of accomplishments for Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve. The longtime leader in the Twin Cities was named the WNBA Coach of the Month for June.

Reeve led Minnesota to a 9-2 record last month, which included a Commissioner's Cup championship victory over the New York Liberty. The Lynx closed out the month with a 14-4 overall record, just 1.5 games out of first place in the Eastern Conference standings.

This marks just the second time in her career that Reeve has been named the Coach of the Month. The honor began in 2017.

Reeve is one of the most accomplished coaches in the WNBA, having won four league championships and has received Coach of the Year honors three times. She's also been the coach of the WNBA All-Star game four times in her career.

Congrats to Coach Cheryl Reeve 👏
