KEARNEY, Neb.—The head women’s basketball coach at Nebraska-Kearney has announced she’s stepping down.
A statement from Carol Russell indicates her departure is a mutual decision between her and the school. She says she’ll pursue other coaching opportunities.
Russell went 163-79 in her eight years with the Lopers. Under her leadership, the UNK women won two Rockey Mountain Athletic Conference titles and made five appearances in the NCAA tournament.
In 2007, Russell was hailed for her dedication after coaching from the bench five hours after giving birth to her first child.
Prior to coaching at UNK, Russell was an assistant coach at Nebraska, Bradley, Texas-Pan American and Truman State.
