KENNESAW, Ga. -- Kennesaw State University has announced the contract of women's basketball head coach Nitra Perry will not be renewed.
 
In four years under Perry, the team compiled a 41-80 record, including a mark of 19-45 in Atlantic Sun Conference play. This past season, the Owls finished 11-19 overall and 6-8 in the A-Sun. KSU's season ended Friday with a 74-56 setback at Stetson in the first round of the A-Sun tournament.
 
"We want to thank Nitra for her dedication and hard work at Kennesaw State," said Director of Athletics Vaughn Williams. "These decisions are not easy, but I felt the program was not meeting competitive expectations. We wish Nitra nothing but the best in the future."
 
A search for her replacement begins immediately.
 
"It is disappointing, but I respect and understand the decision," said Perry. "I want to thank Vaughn Williams for the opportunity to be the head coach at Kennesaw State, and I want to express gratitude to my coaching staff and student-athletes for their hard work and dedication throughout my four years at KSU."
