“I am so incredibly humbled and excited to be the next head women’s basketball coach at Harvard University,” stated Moore. “Thank you to Erin McDermott, Nathan Fry and the rest of the search committee for this incredible opportunity, your confidence in me and for your tremendous support of our program. Also, a very special thank you to Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith for building such a tremendous foundation here and for your long history of fighting for women. Congratulations on your retirement. I am absolutely thrilled to lead these incredible young women and move this program forward. I can’t wait to get started!”

Prior to her arrival at Michigan, Moore had stops at Creighton, Princeton and North Carolina. She played college basketball at Western Michigan.
