INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Former women’s basketball player and Brown Athletic Hall of Famer Liz Suscha ’98 has been named the NCAA’s Vice President of Championships Governance and Policy, as announced by the association on Tuesday.
A two-time captain and First Team All-Ivy honoree, Suscha is one of the most decorated players in Brown women’s basketball history. She finished her career with 1,358 points, 111 three-pointers, and 288 assists. As a senior, she became the first player in Ivy League history to rack up 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists, 150 steals, and 100 three-point field goals in a career. Suscha sits within the top 10 in multiple statistical categories in the Brown record book.
Suscha was just the fifth player in Brown history to earn back-to-back First Team All-Ivy selections (1997 and 1998), with her second being unanimous. Adding to her accolades, Suscha earned First Team Academic All-American District I honors and was named Academic All-Ivy twice. She was also a two-time Ivy League Player of the Year.
With nearly 18 years of experience working in the NCAA, Suscha has spent the past eight years as the Managing Director of Championships and Alliances. In her previous role, she oversaw the Women’s College World Series, partnering with USA Softball, the University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma City. Aside from softball, Suscha focused on Division I and national sports issues in football and men’s and women’s basketball. She also provided direction for Olympic and emerging sports initiatives.
Upon entering her new role, Suscha will set the strategic direction for and manage issues affecting Division I, II, and III and National Collegiate championships (other than Division I basketball and football). She will serve the governance structure and membership to help provide leadership in considering championship policies and legislative changes. Suscha will also lead the championships staff and be the liaison to Division I sport oversight committees (other than basketball and football) and the Division II and III Championships Committees.
