Carrie Racsumberger returns for her seventh season as the head women's bowling coach at Daemen in 2024-25. Racsumberger, the fourth head coach in program history, took the reins of the program just prior to the 2018-19 season and has guided the Wildcats to a 220-180 record, including a program record 55 wins during the 2021-22 campaign. 

A native and current resident of Cheektowaga, Racsumberger brought an impressive resume chalked full of bowling accomplishments to her first foray into collegiate coaching, as well as experience in the local youth bowling scene. She is the author of 15 300 games, and has won numerous state and local championships, including the 2019 Buffalo Bowling Association Doubles Tournament with PWBA member Kristina Szczerbinski and the Western New York Queens title.

In August of 2021 she was named the Adult Female Bowler of the Year by the Greater Buffalo United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Association.

Racsumberger also brings a familiarity with Daemen, and what the university has to offer academically. She earned a Master's Degree from Daemen in 2017 after studying in the Executive Leadership and Change program. She also holds an Associate of Science Degree in Recreation Leadership from Erie Community College, and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human and Community Services from the State University of New York (SUNY) Empire State College.

Racsumberger completed the WeCOACH NCAA Women Coaches Academy (WCA) in 2019, and graduated as a member of class number 47. WeCoach is the premier membership organization dedicated to the recruitment, advancement, and retention of women coaches of all sports and levels. The WCA, hosted in partnership between WeCoach and the NCAA, is a four-day educational training available to NCAA coaches of all experience levels. The WCA is designed for women coaches who are ready and willing to increase their individual effectiveness by learning advanced skills and strategies that directly affect their personal and team success. Participants focused on non-sport specific concepts in an environment that fosters inclusion across the sports community.

Racsumberger's full-time work experience also made her an attractive candidate for the position. She presently works for Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center as the graduate medical education administrator, a position that requires tracking and monitoring of residents, and assisting in improvement plans when needed, similar to what a coach might provide for student-athletes. She also previously worked as a retention specialist for SUNY Empire State College.
