Penn State Lady Lions Embrace New Era Under Coach Tanisha Wright

During Big Ten Women’s Basketball Media Day, Tanisha Wright, the new head coach of the Penn State Lady Lions, outlined her plans for a fresh start at her alma mater after a significant roster overhaul and the exit of former coach Carolyn Kieger.

Wright is working with 11 new transfers to establish a new team identity and mentality in Happy Valley. She emphasized the importance of embracing the traditions and community of Penn State, stating that the focus is on collective success rather than individual achievements.

Junior guard Devyn Quigley highlighted the strong team chemistry already developing among the new players, while junior transfer Petra Bozan noted that defense will be a key focus under Wright's leadership. The Lady Lions are preparing for a challenging season ahead, with a schedule featuring several ranked opponents, and are committed to attention to detail and teamwork.
