MSU has a fairly successful women's basketball team, with its greatest accomplishment being a national runner-up finish to Baylor in 2005. Suzy Merchant took over as head coach in 2007,[30] and replaced Joanne P. McCallie who left MSU to coach for Duke University. Before coming to Michigan State, Merchant spent nine years as head coach of Eastern Michigan University's team, where she won the most games in the school's history.[31] During the 2007–2008 season, the team won more games, 23, than any other Big Ten team.
