After the Indiana State volleyball team finished 9-19 overall and 3-13 in the Missouri Valley Conference this season, Ashlee Pritchard has resigned as coach, according to a university statement.
Pritchard's departure comes after four seasons at ISU, where her teams finished a cumulative 22-90 overall and 10-68 in MVC play.

"We thank Ashlee for all of her contributions to Indiana State and wish her the best of luck in the future," Nathan Christensen, ISU's athletic director, said in the statement.
In a Monday interview with the Tribune-Star, Christensen had declined comment on Pritchard's future as coach.
Pritchard ends her time with the Sycamores with a 22-90 overall record over her four years with the program. She arrived at ISU in 2022 after 10 seasons at Marian University, where her teams finished 222-103 and won the NAIA national championship in 2019. This season's finish by the Sycamores marked their highest overall and MVC win totals in Pritchard's four seasons.
The program's most recent winning season came in 2021, when then-coach Lindsay Allman's team finished 18-13 overall and 9-9 in the MVC.
