Boykin Added to Golden Eagle Staff
MILWAUKEE – Marquette University women’s basketball head coach Cara Consuegra announced Sheila Boykin as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the program on Tuesday.
“We are excited to have Sheila join our staff,” Consuegra said. “Sheila is an accomplished coach with championship-level experience and a relentless worth ethic that sets the standard every day. Just as important, she embodies a culture that aligns perfectly with our values and will be a tremendous relationship builder with our student-athletes, helping them grow both on and off the court.”
Boykin spent the last three seasons an assistant coach at South Florida under Jose Fernandez (2023-25) and Michele Woods-Baxter (2025-26). The Bulls won 62 games while she was on staff and reached the 2025 NCAA Tournament after winning the American Conference tournament championship.
Prior to her time in Tampa, Boykin was an assistant coach at Loyola University Chicago (2022-23) and CSUN (2020-22). She broke into coaching as a graduate assistant with San Diego State (2018-20) following her professional career that took her to Greece and Turkey.
Boykin played collegiately at LSU where she appeared in 113 games during her career. The 2014 recipient of the Eye of the Tiger Award, which is presented annually to an LSU student-athlete who overcomes adversity in their life to succeed both in the classroom and in competition, Boykin averaged 5.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists as a senior.
Boykin graduated from LSU in 2015 with a degree in interdisciplinary studies. She went on to earn a master’s degree in homeland security from San Diego State while serving on the coaching staff there.
