MILWAUKEE -- Marquette says women's basketball coach Terri Mitchell will not return next season.

Mitchell coached the Golden Eagles to a 348-215 record and 15 postseason appearances in 18 seasons. She also was a Marquette assistant for five seasons.

The Golden Eagles went 22-11 this season, losing to Indiana in the second round of the WNIT. Mitchell coached Marquette to the 2008 WNIT title.

Interim Marquette athletic director Bill Cords announced the move on Wednesday night.

"I would like to thank Father Wild, Bill Cords and the university for allowing me to be a part of the Marquette community for the past 23 years," Mitchell said in a statement. "In my 18 years as head coach, I have been privileged to work with amazing coaches and staff.

"I have been most blessed to coach unbelievable women that have impacted my life. I will cherish those relationships forever and am looking forward to beginning the next chapter of my life."
