Wisconsin-Superior announced Thursday the hiring of former Yellowjacket Emily Carpenter as the interim head coach of the women's basketball team.

Carpenter played four seasons on the UWS basketball team and two seasons on the Yellowjackets' softball team between 2016 and 2020. On the hardwood, she was part of three UMAC regular season championship teams, two UMAC tournament champions and went to the NCAA tournament twice.

A native of St. Peter, Minnesota, she spent the previous two seasons as an assistant softball coach at Gustavus Adolphus College.

Carpenter replaces Zach Otto-Fisher, who resigned in May after five seasons.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
