The CMU Women's Basketball program is pleased to announce Patrick Sumugat the successor to head coach Sharlene Harding, who is leaving her post after two years with the program.
Sumugat assumes the role after already being involved with the team this past season as an assistant tasked with player development, and brings with him a wealth of experience at both the high school and club level in Manitoba, as well as in training high-level competitive athletes.
