Alyssa Carsia (Flanagan) enters her eighth season as an assistant coach with the Bloomsburg University women's basketball team in 2023-24.
Prior to her return to Bloomsburg, Flanagan spent two years as a graduate assistant coach for the women’s basketball program at DeSales University. She helped the Bulldogs to a pair of winning seasons including a 20-7 record during the 2013-14 campaign.
Rejoining the Huskies is a homecoming for Flanagan who enjoyed a tremendous four-year career as a player with the Huskies. A starting point guard for former head coach Bill Cleary all four seasons, she finished her career ranked second on the school's all-time list in career assists with 497. She was named the PSAC Tournament Most Valuable Player after leading the Huskies to the 2013 PSAC Championship and was a key part of back-to-back NCAA Tournament teams in 2012 and 2013. Flanagan was an integral member of the group of players that helped turn the Huskies into one of the region’s top programs, with her 2010-11 team starting a run of five consecutive 20-win seasons.
A 2013 Bloomsburg University graduate, Flanagan was a four-year PSAC scholar-athlete and member of SAAC for four years during her time as a Huskies' student-athlete. Flanagan was also a standout in high school playing for Hazleton Area High School, being named the Wyoming Valley Conference MVP three times and leading Hazleton Area to four WVC Championships and one District title. She was also a Third-Team All-State selection her senior year.
