LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell director of athletics and recreation Jermaine Truax announced on Thursday that Anna Allison has left the program to pursue other professional opportunities. A national search for Bucknell's next head coach will begin immediately.
"I am very appreciative of the dedication that Coach Allison has shown to her student-athletes and to Bison Athletics over the last 15 years, and I wish her nothing but the best in all of her future endeavors." said Truax.
Allison came to Bucknell as an assistant coach in July of 2005, and prior to the 2013 season she succeeded Cindy Opalski as the fourth head coach in program history. Allison concludes her seven-year tenure as head coach with a 72-116 overall record and a 33-79 record in Patriot League play.
A native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Allison is a 2004 graduate of Oral Roberts University, where she was a two-time Mid-Continent Conference Setter of the Year. She broke the school's all-time assists record while leading the Golden Eagles to four straight league titles. Allison served as a graduate assistant coach at ORU for one season before coming to Bucknell.
The Bison recently concluded the 2019 season with a 14-14 overall record and a 3-13 mark in the Patriot League.
