Lacrosse coach Elaine Jones resigns

UC Davis head lacrosse coach Elaine Jones announced her resignation from the University on Wednesday.

In 11 seasons as head coach, Jones amassed a record of 97-90, but struggled in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, going just 14-35 in nine seasons in the conference.

“I am proud of the time I have given to developing the program; however, 10 years is a long time,” said Jones. “That being said, I feel that change can be good and now is the time for me to step away and allow someone new to embark on their journey to carry UC Davis forward.”

The Aggies went 6-10 this season and finished tied for fifth in the MPSF standings with a conference record of 2-5.

UC Davis Interim Athletic Director Nona Richardson said UC Davis will conduct a national search for Jones’ replacement beginning in the near future.
