(GREEN BAY ATHLETICS) GREEN BAY – Women’s basketball head coach Kayla Karius announced today the addition of Carley Duffney to the 2025-26 roster.
A native of Green Bay and a Green Bay Preble High School graduate, Duffney returns home after spending the last four collegiate seasons at South Dakota, with Karius at the helm for two of them (2022-2024). She was part of the Coyotes’ NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 run during the 2021-22 campaign, in which she redshirted. During the 2022-23 season, Duffney found a spot in the starting lineup halfway through the season and flourished, shooting over 45 percent overall while drilling nearly 87 percent of her free throws.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Carley Duffney back home to Green Bay!”, said Karius. “I really enjoyed coaching Carley for our two seasons together at USD. Her versatility and skill set will fit our motion offense system perfectly, plus she will bring four years of collegiate basketball experience along with her. Welcome back, Carley and Duffney family!”.
“I’m super excited to be coming home to play for Coach Kayla and all of the Phoenix fans!”, commented Duffney. “I’m looking forward to joining this winning program that I’ve been watching since I was a little kid. Can’t wait! Go Phoenix!”.
While at Preble High School, she garnered the Fox River Classic Conference Player of the Year honors as a junior. She scored over 1,000-points for the Hornets while garnering All-FRCC
