Panepento Steps Down as Wooster's Women's Basketball Head Coach; Marshall Named Interim Head Coach

WOOSTER, Ohio – The College of Wooster's interim athletic director Kristyn King has announced that Lisa Panepento has stepped down as head coach of the Fighting Scots' women's basketball program. Panepento was in her fifth year leading the program she once starred for. She was associated with the Wooster program as a player, assistant coach, interim coach, and head coach for a total of 14 seasons, and also spent six years working in the College's admissions department.

Assistant coach Nicole Marshall has been named interim head coach for the Scots, and will serve in this capacity until a permanent head coach is hired via a national search. Marshall is in her fifth season as an assistant coach with the program. Prior to coming to Wooster, Marshall gained coaching experience as a graduate assistant at Michigan State University. During Marshall's time with Michigan State, the Spartans won a share of a Big Ten regular-season championship and made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Wooster's next game is against Oberlin College at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, January 15, at Timken Gymnasium.
