Moseley Named One of 100 Influential People in College Women's Basketball
July 20, 2020 | Women's Basketball
BOSTON – Recently completing her second season as head coach of the Boston University women's basketball program, Marisa Moseley has been named one of 100 Influential People in Women's College Basketball by Silver Waves Media.
In just two seasons in a leading role, Moseley driven the resurgence of BU, guiding the team to back-to-back winning seasons, while this past season (18-12, 12-6 PL) saw the Terriers finish second overall in the Patriot League regular season, its highest finish ever as a member of the Patriot League.
Furthermore, Moseley guided Maggie Pina to be named Patriot League Rookie of the Year and a third team all-conference honoree along with Katie Nelson on the second team. Under Moseley's tutelage, Pina, Maren Durant and Sydney Johnson became the first trio from the same program in Patriot League history to earn all-rookie status, and Durant additionally earned all-defensive honors.
In her first season at the helm of the Terriers, Moseley was named the first Patriot League Coach of the Year in program history, and was just the second coach in the program's 45-year history to be named the conference coach of the year. Additionally, she was one of two NCAA DI women's basketball first-year head coaches to collect conference coach of the year honors in 2019. Working with eight returning student-athletes and a squad that was predicted to finish ninth in the preseason Patriot League poll, Moseley thrust BU to finish fourth in the regular season standings and post its first winning season in five years with a 15-14 overall record.
Prior to taking over the reigns at her alma mater, Moseley was on Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Geno Auriemma's staff in Storrs for nine seasons, 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 an overall 331-14 record, which included two of the longest winning streaks in NCAA basketball history (111 and 90 consecutive games).
Beyond basketball, Moseley was instrumental in forming the Patriot League Anti-Racism Commission as well as BU's Social Justice & Inclusion Committee.
Moseley was the only coach in the Patriot League named to Silver Waves Media's list.
