Regis University Athletics

Molly Marrin is entering her 11th season as the head women’s basketball coach at Regis University in 2025-26. She currently boasts a career record of 169-115 (.595).

The Rangers went 13-15 in 2024-25, including their third straight winning season in conference play (11-9) and third consecutive RMAC Tournament appearance. Erin Fry and Athena Saragoza posted two of the highest scoring averages in Regis history at 18.5 (5th) and 17.8 (10th), respectively. They were both named First Team All-RMAC, and Fry earned two RMAC Player of the Week accolades. The squad hit 218 threes, the ninth highest single-season mark, and grabbed 39.4 rebounds per game (7th).

Marrin's 2023-24 team tied a school record for single-season wins with a 26-6 overall record that matched the 2005-06 and 2006-07 squads. The team once again rolled through the RMAC Tournament with three straight wins that put the Rangers in the NCAA Tournament for the second season in a row. Four members of the team were named All-RMAC, including one on the First Team. Josey Ryan was subsequently named Second Team All-South Central Region by D2CCA.

Regis, picked No. 7 in the RMAC preseason coaches poll, put together a historic season in 2022-23 as the program swept the RMAC regular season and tournament championships for the first time since 2006-07, and made a trip to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016-17. Junior guard Erin Fry would earn RMAC Player of the Year, RMAC Tournament MVP, First Team All-Region and All-American Honorable Mention leading a Rangers squad that ranked top-5 in school history in scoring, set the program record for total rebounds in a season (1,341) and also ranked top-5 in lowest opponent field goal percentage (.391).

Marrin became just the third coach in Regis women's basketball history to join the 100-win club during the 2021-22 season, earning her 100th victory with a 68-58 road win over Fort Lewis College.

In 2020-21, the women's basketball season was limited to only 18 contests in which the Rangers posted an 8-10 record, including an 8-8 record in the RMAC. Regis qualified for the RMAC Tournament at the end of the regular season, earning the #8 seed and matching up with the #1 seeded Colorado School of Mines Orediggers. The 2020-21 basketball season was the first athletics season since the NCAA cancelled all athletics in 2019-20. 

The 2019-20 season ended with the Rangers finishing with an 11-17 record overall and a 9-13 record in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) play to place 12th in the league. Perhaps the most notable triumph during the season was Regis’s upset road win at No. 19 Colorado Mesa on Feb. 15. For her efforts, junior forward Whitney Jacob was presented with All-RMAC First Team honors. She additionally earned Academic All-RMAC First Team accolades, while senior forward McKenna Bishop achieved honorable mention recognition.
 
The 2018-19 season proved to be a satisfying one for the women’s basketball team, concluding the season with a 17-12 overall record and a 12-10 record in RMAC play. RU entered the RMAC Tournament as the No. 6 seed and proceeded to upset No. 3-seeded Metropolitan State University of Denver in the quarterfinals, 63-56, on March 5. Regis then fell in the semifinals to No. 2 Westminster, 67-54, on March 8 to end the season. Senior forward Shelby Espinosa, sophomore forward Jacob and senior guard Majestie Robinson all earned All-RMAC Second Team honors for their efforts.

The 2017-18 season was a successful campaign for the women's basketball team as it finished 16-13 overall, including a 14-8 conference record. Marrin guided the team to another RMAC Tournament appearance where the No. 5-seeded Rangers took down the No. 4-seeded Colorado School of Mines Orediggers in the opening round of the tournament. For the second consecutive season, Regis met No. 1-seeded CSU Pueblo in the semifinals of the RMAC Tournament. However, the ThunderWolves got the better of RU this time, earning a 60-58 win to advance to the championship game. Junior guard Robinson and senior guard Mary Sigler earned All-RMAC Second Team honors in 2017-18. Senior guard Chante Church, junior forward Espinosa and freshman forward Jacob all received All-RMAC Honorable Mention selections.

In 2016-17, Marrin led the Rangers to an overall record of 23-8, which marked the most wins since 2006-07. Marrin also guided Regis to its sixth NCAA Tournament appearance, its first in nine years.

RU finished fourth in the conference with a record of 16-6. Qualifying for the RMAC Tournament five years in a row, the Rangers defeated Fort Lewis at home, 71-61, in the first round and went on to upset No. 1-seeded CSUP on its home court, 77-71, to advance to the Shootout Final. Regis ran out of steam in the final and fell, 53-37, to UC-Colorado Springs. Five players were recognized with All-RMAC distinction as sophomore guard Robinson nabbed All-RMAC First Team recognition.

Marrin led the team to its fourth straight RMAC Tournament appearance in her first season at the helm in 2015-16. RU finished 18-11 overall and 16-6 in the RMAC. Marrin had the privilege of coaching an All-RMAC First Team performer in senior guard Bay'lee Purdy. Purdy jumped into the all-time scoring ranks and now sits in seventh with 1,257 career points.

A Regis alumna, Marrin most recently served as an assistant coach at the University of Denver. Marrin replaced long-time Regis head coach Linda Raunig after her retirement following the completion of the 2014-15 season. She became the fifth head coach in the history of the Regis women’s basketball program.

Marrin graduated from Regis in 2003 with a degree in communications. She was a four-year letterwinner for the Rangers, earning All-RMAC First Team honors and was twice named to the RMAC All-Tournament Team. 

A native of Dallas, Marrin has spent her collegiate coaching career creating multiple recruiting strategies while working to develop student-athletes on and off the court.  

Prior to returning to Denver, she served six seasons as an assistant coach at the University of San Francisco (USF), where she was the team’s recruiting coordinator and assistant coach since 2008-09. At USF, Marrin played a pivotal role in the recruitment of First Team and Honorable Mention All-West Coast Conference performers.

Marrin’s first coaching experience came at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) in Greeley, Colo. She spent three seasons as the recruiting coordinator and assistant coach, developing and implementing the Bears’ recruiting plan, which led to the signing of UNC’s highest-profile signing of Jabrenta Hubbard.
