Carla Berube has been appointed as the new women's basketball coach at Northwestern, succeeding Joe McKeown. Berube aims to improve a program that has not exceeded nine wins since the 2021-22 season. She previously led Princeton to a 147-29 record and five NCAA Tournament appearances. Berube emphasized the importance of building a championship culture and competing with pride in the Big Ten Conference. Northwestern has faced challenges since its last NCAA Tournament appearances in 2015 and 2021, and Berube's hiring marks a significant step for the program.
""This is a place where academic and athletic excellence go hand in hand, and I'm excited to build a championship culture that reflects that standard. Competing in the Big Ten Conference requires toughness, discipline, and a relentless commitment to growth.""
""Berube, who helped UConn win its first NCAA championship in 1995, led Princeton to a 147-29 record and five NCAA Tournament appearances in six seasons, showcasing her ability to develop successful teams.""
