Geary McLeod, who has served as assistant women’s basketball coach at Mount Saint Mary College for the past three seasons, has been named the program’s new head coach, succeeding longtime leader Marion Dietz.
Dietz, who stepped down to accept an assistant role at St. Bonaventure University, guided the Knights to the 2024‑25 Skyline Conference championship and a berth in the NCAA Division III tournament, marking the team’s most successful stretch in recent memory.
A New Era for the Knights
McLeod’s ascent comes after a period of steady growth under his guidance, during which the squad posted three consecutive winning seasons and produced multiple All‑Conference honorees.
In announcing his vision, McLeod emphasized a culture built on faith, accountability, togetherness and competitive excellence, promising to preserve the foundation Dietz established while charting his own path forward.
Continuity and Future Ambitions
The promotion offers continuity for the Knights as they prepare to build on their recent triumphs, with McLeod poised to blend his recruiting expertise and developmental focus into a sustained winning formula.
