With March Madness getting into full swing, Linganore graduate and UNC-Charlotte women’s basketball coach Cara Consuegra is this week’s guest on The Final Score podcast.

The 49ers won the Conference USA Tournament championship to earn their first bid to the NCAA tournament since 2009. They are the 14th seed in the Bridgeport Region and will take on No. 3 seed Indiana on the Hoosiers’ home court at 1:30 p.m. Saturday on ESPN2.

Consuegra chats with host Greg Swatek about UNC-Charlotte’s run to the Big Dance, how the program has progressed in her 11 seasons on the job and the all-consuming nature of it.

Prior to that, new FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy stops in to talk about his first days on the job and life as a Washington sports fan for the Silver Spring native.
