LORETTO, Pa. – Saint Francis University Director of Athletics Jim Brazill has announced the resignation of Keila Whittington as the Red Flash women's basketball head coach effective immediately.

"I would like to thank Coach Whittington for her contributions and wish her the best in her future endeavors," said Brazill. "Our women's basketball program has enjoyed a long tradition of success, specifically in the Northeast Conference, which we have not experienced recently. I'm eager to re-establish our championship culture and as always, strive for competitive excellence."

A national search for Saint Francis' ninth women's basketball head coach in program history will begin immediately.

Whittington had been the women's basketball head coach since 2019-20. The Red Flash finished 56-155 overall and 48-52 in Northeast Conference play in the last six seasons.

The Saint Francis women's basketball team has won 12 NEC Tournament titles and won 397 NEC games to be the winningest program in NEC women's basketball history.
