4 sea­sons. GLIAC coach of the year. Coached a First Team Academic All-American team.

FSU women’s bas­ket­ball head coach Tracy Dorow has accepted a posi­tion as the head coach  for Valparaiso University’s women’s bas­ket­ball team. She will be the sev­enth head coach in the program’s his­tory. The Athletic Department released an announce­ment Monday after­noon that the long time coach would be leaving. 

“The school is a per­fect fit for me and my fam­ily,” Dorow said. “From the minute I walked onto cam­pus, I felt right at home.”

While at the helm for the Bulldogs, Dorow com­piled a 232–163 over­all record. This past sea­son she coached FSU to a GLIAC regular-season cham­pi­onship and a berth in the NCAA tournament.

“This is a great oppor­tu­nity, sad to see a head coach go, but it’s best for her,” junior for­ward Katy Fox said. “I’m con­fi­dent that they [Ferris] will find somene good to replace her.”

Fox thinks that the team will be fine.

“We are really close as a team and we’ve over­come obsta­cles in the past,” Fox said.

As for a new coach, Ferris must begin the search for a replace­ment. Fox hasn’t heard any rumors of who it will be.

“We will have to know five or six weeks from now,” she said.

The Bulldogs fin­ished the 2011-12 sea­son with a 23–7 over­all record.
