AMHERST, Mass. – University of Massachusetts Director of Athletics Ryan Bamford announced on Sunday that women’s basketball head coach Sharon Dawley has been relieved of her duties. At the helm of the program for six seasons, Dawley compiled a record of 46-133 with a record of 12-18 in 2015-16.
“We thank Sharon for her solid efforts on behalf of UMass women’s basketball,” Bamford said. “We wish her well personally and professionally moving forward.”
