BOSTON — Marisa Moseley, who played basketball at Boston University from 2000-04, playing in the NCAA Tournament in 2003, is returning to her alma mater as head coach of the women's basketball team.
Moseley has coached under Geno Auriemma at the University of Connecticut for the last nine seasons, helping the Huskies win five national championships while reaching the Final Four in each of the nine seasons. UCONN went 331-14 in the nine seasons Moseley coached in Storrs.
The Terriers won the America East conference tournament in 2003 during Moseley's junior year and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. She was a two-year captain at BU.
"I am honored and humbled to be named the head women's basketball coach at Boston University," Moseley said. "I am excited to return to a place filled with wonderful memories that helped mold me into the person I am today. I would like to thank President Robert A. Brown, [senior vice president] Todd Klipp, Drew Marrochello and the entire athletic department for entrusting me with this unbelievable opportunity.
"I would also like to thank Geno Auriemma and my entire UConn family for their unwavering support through this process and for nine amazing years there. I know I would not be in this position without them."
