Former Penn State standout Lucas excited to join Chmiel's coaching staff at BGSU

Maggie Lucas couldn’t be more excited for her full-circle moment in Bowling Green.

Even if that meant making a tough decision to leave her alma mater in order for it to happen.

A former two-time Big Ten player of the year and three-time Associated Press All-American at Penn State, as well as an eight-year veteran at the professional level, Lucas was recently hired as an assistant coach for Bowling Green State University’s women’s basketball program. After spending last season as an assistant at Penn State, Lucas made the switch to northwest Ohio and will be reunited with BGSU’s Fred Chmiel, who was an assistant for the Nittany Lions during her college playing days.
