WVU will be looking for a new coach.
After just one year on the job at West Virginia, women’s head basketball coach Dawn Plitzuweit is leaving to take the head coaching job at the University of Minnesota. In her lone season as the head Mountaineer, Plitzuweit led her team to a 19-12 record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Statement from WVU Athletic Director Wren Baker via WVU Athletics Communications
“Earlier today I met with Coach Plitzuweit, and she informed me she will be departing our basketball program to pursue an opportunity with the University of Minnesota. This move allows her to be closer to her home and her family, and we understand and respect that.
“I want to thank Coach Plitzuweit for the positive impact she made on our women’s basketball program this year. I also want to thank our women’s basketball student-athletes for the pride they have and the effort they give in competing for West Virginia University. Our student-athletes deserve the best, and we will immediately begin a national search for our next head coach. We have a proud tradition, and our program is well-positioned for the future. I am confident we will identify an outstanding leader to build on our success and take WVU women’s basketball to even greater heights.”
