Coach Kelly Bristsky steps down
After 12 years at the helm of the Georgia Southwestern State University women's basketball program, head coach Kelly Britsky has decided to step down from her coaching position. Britsky is just the second head coach in the program's history as a NCAA Division II member and helped transition the program from the NAIA level into the Peach Belt Conference.
"After dedicating over a decade of my life to GSW athletics it is time to see what's next," Britsky said. "I have always been proud of my teams both on and off the court. The young women that have played in the Storm Dome have made friendships and memories for a lifetime and have gone on to be successful each in their own way. With the boost from President Neal Weaver, GSW athletics is on the rise and the best is yet to come."
