Auriemma and his staff were in attendance at the press conference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the last nine years, I had a front row seat in one of the best classes a coach could ever dream of,&#8221; Moseley said.<\/p>\n<p>Boston University Director of Athletics Drew Marrochello said Moseley was the top choice from a bevy of strong candidates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had formative and serious conversations with a number of qualified individuals, but one quickly rose to the top,&#8221; Marrochello said.<\/p>\n<p>He described Moseley as, &#8220;genuine, caring, magnetic and someone that you&#8217;d clearly want to play for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eight players will return this fall, highlighted by 2017-18 All-Patriot League Third Team honoree, rising junior Nia Irving, and rising sophomore Katie Nelson, who was named to this year&#8217;s All-Patriot League Rookie Team. Rising seniors Payton Hauck and Naiyah Thompson are also returning starters. Moseley said she wants to help grow an already established environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The culture is the biggest piece to this whole process,&#8221; Moseley said. &#8220;They already have a great culture here, they are a tight knit group. I think it&#8217;s just going to be unselfish players who are committed to one goal. We&#8217;re all going to work hard, we&#8217;re going to compete at a very high level on and off the court, and we&#8217;re going to have a lot of fun doing it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; By: Greg Levinsky Marisa Moseley knows what student life is like at Boston University.
