The Marquette Golden Eagles are welcoming back a familiar face to take over head coaching duties of the women’s basketball team. Cara Consuegra will be the seventh head coach and served as an assistant at Marquette University from 2004-2011.
She became Charlotte’s all-time wins leader at the beginning of the 2021-22 season, and was named the Conference USA Coach of the Year. Consuegra earned seven postseason appearances, including an NCAA tournament berth in 2022, and finished with a 225-169 record over 13 seasons.
“My family and I are very excited to be returning to Marquette, a place that we consider home,” Consuegra says. “The history of Marquette women’s basketball is strong and the future is bright. I am excited to reconnect with the rich tradition, while leading the program to new heights.”
