COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – University of Colorado Colorado Springs head women's basketball coach Misty Wilson has announced the addition of Karli Moore as an assistant women's basketball coach. 
 
"I am excited to have Karli on staff at UCCS," said Wilson. "Karli played for me and then coached alongside me for five seasons. Together, we had a great deal of success in our time on the sidelines. In this profession, it is important to surround yourself with people that make you better, challenge you, and embrace your vision for your players and program. Karli does all of these things with every fiber of her being. I am excited to see the positive impact Karli has on our program as we continue to strive to build it into a consistent national contender."
 
Moore joins the Mountain Lions after previously serving as an assistant women's basketball coach at Tarleton State University from 2015-20. During her five seasons on the coaching staff, she assisted with practice planning, game preparation, recruiting, scouting, team travel, compliance documentation and community engagement.
 
"I'm beyond excited to be back in college coaching," exclaimed Moore. "There's nothing quite like the relationships, the competition, and the opportunity to help student-athletes reach their full potential and I know there is no one better to do that with than Misty Wilson! I am ready to once again be fulfilling my purpose and am excited to work alongside Lindsey and Rylie in developing individuals that ultimately make up competitive squads."
 
At Tarleton State, Moore coordinated team travel and meal arrangements, prepared scouting reports and film breakdowns, assisted with recruiting efforts, organized camps and community service activities, and managed team expense documentation. She also worked closely with student-athletes during practices and throughout the program's day-to-day operations.
Following her time in collegiate athletics, Moore worked in management and customer service roles in Maui, Hawaii, where she oversaw daily operations, coordinated scheduling and logistics, and collaborated with clients and staff.
 
"I want to thank the UCCS staff and athletic department for trusting me to represent the university and its values with the utmost respect," said Moore.  "I look forward to being a part of the legacy that Coach Wilson has grown and created in the women's basketball program here at UCCS! Let's go Mountain Lions!"
 
Before beginning her coaching career, Moore played four seasons at Tarleton State from 2011-15, appearing in 100 games with 27 starts during her senior season. She helped the Texans capture the Lone Star Conference Tournament championship as a freshman and advance to three NCAA Regional Tournaments during her career. Moore was a three-time Lone Star Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll selection and earned LSC All-Academic honors in 2015. She averaged 4.9 points and 2.8 rebounds per game over her collegiate career, including career-best averages of 7.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game as a senior in head coach Misty Wilson's first season leading the program.
 
A native of Texas, Moore earned a Master of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Sport Management from Tarleton State University in 2017 after completing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with All-Level Certification and a minor in mathematics in 2015. She graduated cum laude with a 4.0 undergraduate GPA and earned a 3.80 GPA in graduate school.
 
Moore will begin her duties with the Mountain Lions on August 17.
