Penn State women's basketball's Carolyn Kieger emphasizes patience, culture as Lady Lions look to bounce back

Entering the 2020-21 season, the Penn State women’s basketball team finds itself in a difficult situation and coming off of one of its worst seasons in recent history.

The team had to deal with all the effects on the sporting world caused by the coronavirus, while also entering into the first phase of a full scale rebuild under second year coach Carolyn Kieger

In the 2019-20 season, the Lady Lions had a record of 7-23 and were 1-17 in the conference.

This was the program's worst season since 2014-15 when then-coach Coquese Washington led the Lady Lions to a 6-24 overall record and a 3-15 Big Ten record.
