Tansil-Gentry had been with the program for 18 years. She spent five years as a player and eight as an assistant coach before taking the head coaching reins.

"My decision to move into a teaching position is strictly for family reasons and is a good opportunity for me to continue with the university," she added. "This was a decision reached by my family and me, and I am excited about my new position."

Tansil-Gentry posted a record of 41-104 as head coach.
