Marisa Moseley Introduced as Head Women's Basketball Coach
April 18, 2018 | Women's Basketball
BOSTON - Marisa Moseley was introduced as the eighth head coach of the Boston University women's basketball team on Wednesday at a reception held in the Francis D. Burke Club Rom at Agganis Arena.
Members of the Boston University community were on hand to welcome Moseley. Both Moseley and Assistant Vice President and Director of Athletics Drew Marrochello gave remarks at the reception.
"The more we got to know Marisa, the more the words of others rang true," said Marrochello. "She's genuine, she's caring, she's magnetic and she's somebody you clearly want to play for. We succeed when our students would choose to be Terriers again. This is the ultimate case of someone choosing to be a Terrier again."
A two-year captain during her playing days with the Terriers, Moseley has been on Geno Auriemma's staff in Storrs since 2009, helping the Huskies claim five national championships (2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016) while reaching the Final Four all nine seasons.
She coached three national players of the year and 11 All-Americans while assisting UConn to a 331-14 record and two of the longest winning streaks in NCAA basketball history (111 and 90 consecutive games).
"I'm very excited and humbled to be back at Boston University as the next women's basketball head coach," said Moseley. "In life, one gets very few chances to come home again, and I am so happy to have the opportunity to come home again to Boston University."
A native of Springfield, Massachusetts, Moseley completed her four-year (2000-04) playing career as the Terriers' third-leading shot blocker (114 blocks). The defensive specialist earned All-America East Conference Third Team honors in 2002-03 after leading BU in both steals and blocked shots.
Moseley helped the Terriers win the 2003 America East championship and make their first and only appearance in the NCAA Tournament. She was voted the defensive player of the year by her teammates and was also a four-year member of the America East Honor Roll.
