🎙️ Inside UB Women’s Basketball: Coach Sharkey & Liza Field

On this episode, we sit down with Head Coach Kristen Sharkey and graduate transfer Liza Field from the University at Buffalo Women’s Basketball program for a deep, inspiring conversation about leadership, culture, and building for the future.

Coach Sharkey takes us through her remarkable journey—rising from assistant coach at Buffalo to associate head coach at Syracuse, and now back at UB as head coach—all while earning a master’s degree, starting a family, and embracing the challenge of shaping a new era for Bulls basketball. She shares the emotions behind the call that named her head coach, her top priorities stepping into the role, the culture she’s determined to build, and what excites her most about the upcoming season.

Then, Liza Field gives us an inside look at her path from high school standout to Stony Brook and now Buffalo. She opens up about her decision to join UB, how she’s helping shape the team’s culture, and what it’s like to play under Coach Sharkey’s leadership. Plus, she previews the goals and excitement fueling her graduate season.

Whether you’re a basketball fan, a coach, or someone chasing your own journey, this episode is packed with lessons on perseverance, leadership, and the power of culture in shaping success.
