Less than a month after Penn State began its national search for a new women’s basketball coach, the Lady Lions have found their woman.
Former Marquette coach Carolyn Kieger was named Tuesday afternoon as the head coach of the women’s basketball program, pending contract approval Thursday by the Committee on Compensation of the Penn State Board of Trustees. Kieger is coming off three straight NCAA Tournament appearances after inheriting a program that hadn’t made back-to-back tournaments since 1999-2000.
