UTPB women’s basketball also made it to the national tournament for the first time since 2013.

In the release, Dooley said that “It has been an incredible journey leading the Falcons and witnessing our student-athletes’ growth and achievements. I am proud of what we have accomplished together. As I begin this new adventure in aviation, I’m thankful for my time at UTPB and the past 25 years I have spent working in intercollegiate athletics across three intuitions ”

Former athletics director Scott Farmer will serve as interim AD and lead the national search for Dooley’s replacement.
