Joanna Bernabei-McNamee\u2019s time at Boston College is over.<\/p>\n
The Eagles parted with Bernabei-McNamee on Sunday night, ending her eight-season run with the program after their final game of the regular season. Bernabei-McNamee\u2019s contract was up after this season, and the school is opting not to extend it.<\/p>\n
“I want to thank Joanna for her contributions to the Boston College Women’s Basketball program during her eight years as an Eagle, as she had a tremendous impact on so many young women who have gone on to do great things,\u201d athletic director Blake James said in a statement. \u201cIt is simply time for a change and we wish Joanna and her family the very best in the future.”<\/p>\n
Bernabei-McNamee took over at Boston College in 2018, though she only managed to compile two winning seasons and never made the NCAA tournament during her tenure. The Eagles went just 5-26 this season and ended the campaign with just a single win since Thanksgiving. That lone win, a 77-59 win over SMU on Feb. 19, snapped a 20-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

They finished last in the ACC standings after going just 1-17 in league play. As a result, they did not qualify for the ACC tournament.<\/p>\n
Bernabei-McNamee finished with a 113-132 record and went 43-94 in ACC play.<\/p>\n
“We take great pride in the variety of sports we sponsor, including our women’s teams, and we have a lot already in place to attract a strong candidate pool,” James said in a statement. “Our practice facility is top-notch, our fans and supporters are thirsty for success and we compete in one of the best women’s basketball conferences in America \u2014 the ACC. I am excited to find the right person who can elevate our program and who shares in our values.”<\/p>\n
Whoever James hires to replace Bernabei-McNamee will be tasked with turning the program around. The Eagles haven\u2019t been to the NCAA tournament since 2006, and haven\u2019t been nationally ranked since the 2010-11 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joanna Bernabei-McNamee\u2019s time at Boston College is over.
