Molly Glick enters her first season with the USC Upstate women’s basketball program in 2025-26.
Glick joins the Spartans following a three-season stint as an assistant coach at Mercyhurst (Erie, Pa.), helping the Lakers transition to NCAA Division I during the 2024-25 season. In the program’s first season at the D1 level, Mercyhurst led the Northeast Conference in three-point field goal percentage defense (28.7) while ranking second in the NEC in scoring (65.0) and field goal percentage (41.3)
In 2023-24, the Lakers’ final NCAA Division II season, Glick helped the program achieve an 18-11 (14-8 PSAC) record, leading Mercyhurst to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Tournament for the first time since the 2016-17 season. During the campaign, the Lakers reeled off a program-best 11-game winning streak. Mercyhurst finished the year ranked seventh in the NCAA in three-point field goal percentage defense (24.8%).
Glick’s first season at Mercyhurst saw a dramatic shooting improvement from beyond the arc, improving the team’s three-point field goal percentage to 36.3 percent—up from 29.3 percent the season prior—ranking ninth in the NCAA in the category at year’s end.
In her three seasons with the Lakers, Glick tutored four All-Conference selections, including 2024-25 First Team All-NEC and 2023-24 Second Team All-PSAC selection Bailey Kuhns, 2023-24 First Team All-PSAC selection Danielle Grim, and 2022-23 Second Team All-PSAC selection Jayde Boyd.
She joined the Lakers’ program following a season (2021-22) as the Director of Basketball Operations at Northern Kentucky, her alma mater. In her lone season with the Norse, Glick worked with four All-Horizon League selections, including Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year Grayson Rose while helping Northern Kentucky to 21 wins, including 14 in conference play.
Before beginning her coaching career, Glick was selected for the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association “So You Want To Be A Coach” program’s 2020 class. A four-year standout and three-year team captain at Northern Kentucky, Glick is a member of the Norse’s 1,000-Point Club, tying for 19th in career scoring with 1,262 points. A prolific three-point shooter, she ranks third in program history with 210 career three-point makes, owning two of the top 10 single-season marks. Glick also owns the program record for career games started, starting 123 of her 125 games played.
A native of Fostoria, Ohio, Glick graduated from Northern Kentucky in 2020.
