Southern Utah- Big Sky

Departed coach/record: Chris Boettcher, 4 seasons (29-92 overall, 12-61 in the Patriot League)

Season-by-season record:
2014-15: 14-15 (6-12)
2015-16: 5-27 (2-16)
2016-17: 7-23 (2-17)
2017-18: 3-27 (2-16)

Reason for departure: After former head coach JR Payne left to take the Fresno State head coaching job (she is now the head coach at Colorado), Boettcher took over 25 win team. For whatever reason, he was unable to keep momentum rolling and failed to record a winning season.
