Consuerga is seventh head coach in Marquette women's basketball program history
MILWAUKEE – Cara Consuegra was introduced as the seventh head coach in Marquette women's basketball program history on Thursday.
The introductory press conference took place at the Alumni Memorial Union on the campus of Marquette University.
Consuergra, who was an assistant at Marquette from 2004-11, returns to MU after being the head coach at Charlotte for the past 13 seasons.
"This is really special to me to stand up here and say that I am your head women's basketball coach," Consuerga said. "Marquette is not a job to us. I've been so fortunate to have been here before, my husband is an alum, his siblings are alums, our family is here."
"I am a builder. I am a builder of programs. I was at Charlotte for 13 years and we went through three conferences. I also build relationships. The relationships that I've had with my players, my staff, my colleagues. They mean more to me than anything else. They mean more than any trophy we would hoist or any tournament bid. The relationships are why I do this. I build people. Coaching is my dream, it's something I've always wanted to do, but ultimately for me it is vehicle to help me help young people grow, learn, and prepare them for life. That's what I care about. Preparing young people for what is next and for what they can be."
