Wright State women’s basketball coach Katrina Merriweather is moving on to a new challenge after leading the Raiders to new heights.

The school announced Monday afternoon Merriweather has accepted the head coach position at the University of Memphis after five seasons in the same job at WSU.

That confirmed a report from The Daily Memphian.

“I will miss the people at Wright State,” she said in a statement. “So many people supported and cheered for us. People who took great care of our young women and did all they could to assist them in every way imaginable to ensure their success.

“This athletic department is one of a kind because they genuinely believe in treating athletes as people first and doing all they can to ensure a positive experience for all student-athletes.”
