On Friday morning, MU assistant coach Chaia Meier was tabbed as the 11th head coach in Bradley women’s basketball history.

Chaia has demonstrated success as both a head coach and assistant, consistently developing student-athletes and building competitive programs. She is the ideal leader for Bradley Women’s Basketball and will create a premier student-athlete experience that positions our program for sustained success. ” “My family and I are thrilled to join the Bradley community and return to Central Illinois, a place that we consider home,” Meier said.

“I want to thank Chris Reynolds and Jen Jones for the opportunity to lead this program and these young women. Bradley Women’s Basketball is primed to take the next step and I am honored to be entrusted with that challenge. ” And later, a quote from Marquette head coach Cara Consuegra: “Chaia Meier is the kind of coach every program hopes to find — someone who is not only exceptional at what she does on the court, but an even better person off of it.
