"We are excited to welcome Chaia to Marquette," Consuegra said. "She has great experience developing student-athletes on and off the court and her experience leading a program will be a huge asset."
Huff was 104-95 overall as head coach for the Eagles with an 82-58 mark in Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference play. She became the winningest coach in program history during the 2022-23 season.
"I am very grateful to be joining coach Cara and the Marquette women's basketball family in this new journey," Huff said. "I am really looking forward to this opportunity and can't wait to get started."
