(BOWIE, MD) Bowie State University Head Women’s Basketball Coach Doug Robertson has resigned his position to accept the head coaching post at South Carolina State University. South Carolina State, a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), finished the 2007-2008 season in 7th place with a record of 9-7 (13-17 overall)

“Coach Robertson did an outstanding job advancing our women’s program," said Athletic Director Derek Carter. “We wish him much success as he embarks on this newest phase of his coaching career.”

During his three years with the Bowie State Lady Bulldogs program, Robertson compiled a record of 53-33 (61.6%), led BSU to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Eastern Division title and was named the 2007-2008 CIAA Coach of the Year.

Prior to his stint at Bowie State, Robertson served as the number one assistant for the Delaware State University Lady Hornets (2000-2005) and helped guide them to an 82-64 overall record and three MEAC Championships game appearances in five years.
