FORT VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY

FORT VALLEY, Georgia  --  Fort Valley State women’s head coach Lonnie Bartley tied the record for wins by a women’s head coach at an historically black college or university Saturday with the Lady Wildcats’ 73-63 win over visiting Kentucky State.

Now, Bartley will try to break the record on Thursday at Tuskegee. FVSU improved to 6-5 overall and 2-0 in the SIAC with its third straight win.

Bartley is 623-216, in his 29th season at his alma mater.

The mark of 623 wins was held by the late Nelson Brownlee of Claflin for the most wins by a women’s head coach at an historically black college or university. Brownlee, who retired in 2001 and died two years later, went 623-192 at Claflin when the current SIAC member competed in the NAIA.

Bartley is fourth on the Division II wins list of active coaches, 11 wins behind Tom Shirley of Philadelphia University, who is 634-295.

Bartley is eighth among active Division II women’s head coaches with a 74.3 winning percentage. He is 15th all-time in percentage and eighth in wins.
