Green Bay and head women’s basketball coach Kevin Borseth have agreed to a contract extension through the 2020-21 season, Director of Athletics Mary Ellen Gillespie announced on Friday.

“Kevin Borseth is a phenomenal coach and is the perfect person to be leading our program and our young women,” Gillespie said. “He is exceptional at recruiting and developing student-athletes on the court and has high expectations for their academic performance. Our young women excel in the classroom, are engaged in the community and win championships on the court. I am confident Green Bay will continue to compete at the highest level under Kevin’s leadership.”

Borseth, who recently led the Phoenix to its 18th-consecutive Horizon League title and 16th NCAA Tournament appearance, will be entering his 14th season overall at Green Bay and owns a winning percentage of .792 with the Phoenix.

“I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to do what I love, in a place that means so much to me and my family. I want to thank Chancellor Miller and Mary Ellen for having confidence in me to continue being the coach for the Green Bay Phoenix. ”

Last season, Borseth led Green Bay to a 28-5 overall record, paired with a 16-2 mark in conference action and secured the program’s 17th-straight 20-plus win. The team also notched its 39th-straight winning season, which stands as the second longest active streak in the nation.

Borseth owns a career coaching record of 635-255 and surpassed 400 Division I wins last season. He has coached a total of 29 years, including 13 years for Green Bay where he has amassed an impressive record of 323-85. He has garnered Horizon League Coach of the Year honors in eight of his 13 seasons at Green Bay and will look to lead a roster of all Wisconsin student-athletes to the program’s 19th-straight Horizon League title.
