OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Women’s basketball coach Connie Yori abruptly resigned Tuesday after 14 seasons at Nebraska that included nine trips to the NCAA Tournament.

In a statement released by the school, Yori said only that she was leaving for personal reasons and thanked athletic director Shawn Eichorst for his support and leadership.

“This has been a very challenging time for my family and in the best interest of all of us, this is the right decision,” said Yori, who is in the midst of divorce proceedings.

“Coach Yori achieved great success in the program during her tenure and we appreciate her many contributions to the university,” Eichorst said.

Yori was the consensus coach of the year in 2010 after Nebraska went 32-2 after a 30-game winning streak and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. She was also the Big Ten Conference coach of the year in 2013 and 2014. Overall, she has a 475-306 record over 26 seasons as a head coach. She helped Nebraska to some of its most successful seasons ever, and finishes with a 280-166 record over 14 years.

This season, the Huskers finished 18-13 and just 9-9 in the Big Ten. They failed to reach the NCAA tourney for the first time in four seasons and were ousted in the first round of the WNIT postseason tournament by Northern Iowa.

Yori didn’t immediately respond to a message from The Associated Press.
