Former Notre Dame women’s basketball standout Megan Duffy has been on the coaching climb since her playing career came to an end. That climb has taken her Virginia Tech where she’ll be the new head coach.
Duffy heads to Blacksburg after spending the last five seasons at Marquette. She guided the Golden Eagles to a 110-46 overall record and appearances in the NCAA Tournament each of the last two seasons.
“I am ecstatic to join Virginia Tech Athletics as the leader of the women’s program,” Duffy said Wednesday morning. “The opportunity to continue the winning tradition with Hokie Nation and to be a part of the passionate, savvy Blacksburg community makes this a dream job for me.” – Megan Duffy
Previous to Marquette, Duffy was the head coach at Miami (Ohio) for two seasons, helping them to a 44-20 overall mark.
Duffy was the leading scorer on the 2005-06 Notre Dame team, putting up 15.6 points per game. She was on four Fighting Irish teams that made the NCAA Tournament, a pair of which made the Sweet 16.
Duffy played three seasons in the WNBA before getting her coaching start at St. John’s. She also had assistant stops at George Washington and Michigan before landing the Miami (Ohio) job.
