After five seasons as the Southwestern University Head Women's
Basketball Coach, Pam Ruder has stepped down to pursue professional
opportunities outside the Southwestern University community.
"I have enjoyed my five seasons at Southwestern University,"
states Coach Ruder. "My passion for the game of basketball and
having it played well is still very strong; however, I am ready to
move on to other challenges. I wish the program all the best in the
future."
The University will begin a national search for a new Head Coach
immediately. Ronda Seagraves, Associate Athletic Director of
Intercollegiate Athletics and former Head Women's Basketball Coach
will be assisting with the transition in conjunction with Assistant
Women's Basketball Coach Julie Wilke.
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Dr. Glada Munt, and the
Southwestern University Community wish Coach Ruder all the best in
her future endeavors.
