LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Kevin Jamieson has announced his resignation as Bucknell head women's golf coach in order to pursue other professional opportunities. Jamieson recently completed his 16th season in charge of the Bison women's golf team. A national search is underway to identify his successor.
"I would like to thank Kevin for all of his efforts in leading the Bison women's golf team over the last 16 years," said director of athletics and recreation John Hardt. "Kevin took over a program that was still in its infancy and helped mold it into one that consistently competes for conference championships. We will miss Kevin's commitment and passion for the student-athletes, alumni and friends of the women's golf program."
Jamieson was just the second head coach in Bucknell women's golf history. The program debuted at the varsity level in 1998-99 under head coach Brad Tufts, and Jamieson took over the post in the fall of 2000 after Tufts' retirement.
Jamieson guided the Bison through two conference transitions during his tenure. Bucknell joined the Big South Conference in 2005, and the team finished as high as third place in that league in 2011. The 2012-13, the Patriot League began sponsoring women's golf, and one year later the Bison captured their first-ever league championship, edging Boston University by three strokes at Saucon Valley Country Club.
Bucknell finished fourth at this year's Patriot League Championship, and the team will return a pair of all-league performers next year in rising senior Emily Larson (T-4th) and rising junior Lindsay Dodovich (T-9th).
