Mackenzie Crusoe, an All-GAC First Team selection during the 2024-25 season, will return to Oklahoma Baptist University as assistant coach for the 2025-26 campaign.

"I'm so grateful to be able to join a program that means so much to me," Crusoe said. "I'm excited to work with head coach Bo Overton and help lead our women to great successes."

A native of Choctaw, Crusoe was an outstanding player in the Great American Conference. She started her career at East Central where she was a three-time All-GAC Second Team performer. Last season at OBU, she helped the Bison to its first 20-win season in a decade and made the GAC's first team.

Over her playing career, she tallied 1,856 points, dished out 308 assists, made 40 percent from the field and nearly 79 percent at the foul line.

Crusoe graduated from ECU in May of 2024 with a bachelor's in business administration. She's currently nearing completion of her MBA at Oklahoma Baptist.
