GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Former Green Bay player Kayla Karius is returning to her alma mater to take over for Kevin Borseth, who retired two weeks ago.
Karius played for Green Bay from 2007-11, when she was known as Kayla Tetschlag. She coached South Dakota the last two seasons and posted a 37-29 record, including a 23-13 mark this year that included a WNIT appearance.
She will be introduced at a Thursday news conference.
“This is the premier women’s basketball program in our state and is located in one of the most innovative and booming communities,” Karius said Tuesday in a statement released by the school. “I look forward to carrying on a strong tradition of championships on the court and excellence in the classroom.”
During her playing career, Karius helped Green Bay earn three NCAA Tournament berths and reach the Sweet 16 her senior season. She was named the 2011 Horizon League player of the year.
