MILWAUKEE (AP) — Marquette has filled its head coaching vacancy by bringing back Cara Consuegra, a former Golden Eagles assistant who spent the last 13 seasons running Charlotte’s program.
Consuegra went 225-169 in her 13 years at Charlotte as the 49ers earned one NCAA Tournament berth in 2022 and made six WNIT appearances. She was an assistant coach at Marquette on Terri Mitchell’s staff from 2004-11.
She takes over for Megan Duffy, who left to coach Virginia Tech after going 110-46 with three NCAA Tournament appearances in five seasons at Marquette.
“When we started this process, it was our goal to find the best possible head coach to lead our student-athletes into the future,” Marquette athletic director Bill Scholl said Wednesday in a statement announcing the hire. “Ultimately, that person turned out to be one of our own. Having served seven years as an assistant coach at Marquette, Cara has an acute appreciation for the values that make both the university and the women’s basketball program so special.”
