Marquette University head men’s basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski’s contract has been extended through the conclusion of the 2021-22 campaign, Vice President & Director of Athletics Bill Scholl announced Tuesday afternoon.

“We are thrilled with the direction the program is heading under Steve’s leadership,” Scholl said. “This extension not only illustrates our commitment to what Steve and his staff are building at Marquette, but also his commitment to the University.”

Wojciechowski was named the program’s 17th head coach on April 1, 2014 and originally signed a six-year deal with the University. The Golden Eagles are currently in possession of a nine-game winning streak and an overall record of 10-2. The squad opens BIG EAST Conference play on Wednesday night against Seton Hall at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

“I am extremely grateful for the support the University provides our program on a daily basis,” Wojciechowski said. “It’s a team effort, on and off the court, and the belief in what we are building is tremendous and will play a key role in keeping Marquette among the elite programs in the country.”

The financial details of the contract extension won’t be disclosed by the University.
