Valparaiso University head women’s basketball coach Keith Freeman has announced that Abby Scharlow has submitted her resignation as assistant coach to take a similar position at Florida Gulf Coast University.

“Abby has done a great job in developing as a coach and we wish her well in her career,” Freeman said.

Scharlow joined the Valparaiso University staff during the summer of 2007 and was with the program for the past three seasons.  She served as the team’s recruiting coordinator as well.

Freeman said a national search will begin immediately to fill the assistant coaching position.
