St. Clair County Community College has served as a springboard for big opportunities in Carrie Lohr’s life both as an athlete and a coach.
Lohr played basketball at SC4 from 1989-91, earning First-Team All-Conference, All-Region and All-State honors for the Skippers, before transferring to the University of Michigan-Dearborn, where she served as a team captain.
She returned to SC4 as an assistant coach and took the reins of the women’s basketball program in 2002, coaching the Skippers for nine seasons and compiling a 166-106 record. Her teams finished with a record above .500 every year during her tenure leading SC4. She was named the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Junior College Coach of the Year in 2003-04 and 2009-10.
In efforts of building the SC4 women’s basketball, Lohr commented “I recruited not only locally by but players that had goals to compete at a four-year university. During my nine years as the head coach at SC4, 24 student-athletes went on to four-year institutions to continue their education and playing career.”
After her ninth season at SC4, Lohr moved onto Wayne State, where she has been head coach of the Warriors women’s basketball team ever since. Through her first 10 seasons at Wayne State, Lohr has a 160-119 record, and has led the Warriors to three first-place divisional finishes in the GLIAC, and three trips to the NCAA Division II National Tournament. Lohr became Wayne State’s all-time winningest coach in 2019 and was the fastest coach in program history to reach 100 career wins. So far, Lohr has been dubbed Coach of the Year four times while serving as the head coach at SC4 and WSU.
