The Department of Athletics has opened a national search for head coach for the women’s basketball team. Following the resignation of former Alaska Nanooks women’s basketball head coach Cody Bench last spring, assistant coach Brett Sawyer was appointed interim head coach.

Since taking over the program in March 2017, Sawyer led the 2017-2018 Nanooks to a 4-22 overall mark on the season and a 0-22 record in conference play. Despite going winless in league games, Alaska still produced a program-best six selections to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference all-academic team, while sophomore guard Lexi Carpenter was named an all-GNAC honorable mention.
