My name is Keith Cieplicki, and I am the new head coach. I appreciate your interest and I am very excited about all we have to offer you!
Our team plays in the 9,500-seat Manley Field House, a tremendous home court for women's basketball. We play in one of the most competitive leagues in the country and our student-athletes have outstanding opportunities for success on the court, in the classroom and in the Syracuse community.
Syracuse University Women's Basketball is all about excellence. There is tremendous support here for our student-athletes and we are excited about the energy surrounding our women's basketball program. I believe that the foundation for success is built with top-quality people. I am always looking for the very best basket ball players and students that we can find that are committed to reaching their potential and enjoying the college experience.
