The 2021-22 season, the Scots saw an improvement to 15-12 under Stormont. Highlights included a 79-70 preseason victory over Division II opponent Lake Superior State University, 8 MIAA wins, and a MIAA Quarterfinal upset of Albion College.

Twice the interim head coach for the women's basketball team, Stormont was hired by Director of Athletics Steven Rackley in May 2019 as Head Coach, and was initially hired as the lead assistant coach in the Summer of 2017. Over that two-year span, the Scots totaled 20 wins, 12 of which came in the conference, and reached the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Semifinals for the first time since 2006. Alma's 15 wins in the 2018-19 season are the most in the last 16 years.

Stormont graduated from Northwood University in 2017 with a degree in marketing and management. She was also a four-year member of the women's basketball program and had worked in Northwood's sports information office since September 2015.
