Women's Rugby Head Coach Mel Denham has resigned to take the women's rugby head coach post at Harvard University.
"Central Washington is a special place, and I have enjoyed my time here. I appreciate the opportunities I have been given, and I thank the department and leadership for their commitment to NCAA collegiate rugby and advancing the game," Denham said.
Denham led the Wildcats to a third place finish in the USA Rugby National Sevens Championships this past season and landed five players on the USA Rugby's WJAA National Team. She has led the Wildcats to three national championship appearances in her three seasons at the helm.
