From point guard at UNC Wilmington to being named a WBCA 30 Under 30 honoree, Moriah Crisp’s journey is all about growth, leadership, and impact. 🏀✨

We sat down to talk about the defining moments that pushed her into coaching, the lessons she’s learned at George Washington, Fordham, and now Marist, and why emotional intelligence is a must-have for today’s coaches. She opens up about her “It Factor,” her favorite WNBA players of all time, and what excites her most about this upcoming season at Marist.

More than just basketball, Moriah shares how she mentors young women to build mentality and work ethic that go further than skill alone — and who she is beyond the game.

This one is for every college player thinking about life after basketball, and every young woman dreaming of making an impact through the game. 🚀
