ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Warde Manuel, the University of Michigan's Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics, announced Tuesday (May 2) that women's lacrosse head coach Jennifer Ulehla's appointment will not be renewed.
Ulehla started the varsity program at U-M, recruiting the program's first signing class in November of 2012.
"After evaluating our women's lacrosse program, I have determined that a change is necessary at this time," said Manuel. "We are thankful to Jenny for her efforts in starting the program and wish her success in the future."
Michigan finished the 2017 season with a 5-12 record overall and went 1-5 in Big Ten Conference play. The program recorded its first conference victory with a 12-11 overtime decision at Ohio State in mid-March.
Ulehla's four-year record at Michigan was 20-49 (.290) overall, including a 1-21 (.045) mark in conference play.
Michigan lacrosse will move into the new South Competition and Performance Complex in 2018 with a dedicated lacrosse facility that will seat 2,000 spectators and include comprehensive sport performance and locker room facilities.
A national search will begin immediately.
