Georgia mutually parted ways with women’s basketball head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, the university announced Saturday.

Abrahamson-Henderson. 59, posted a 69-59 record in four seasons with the Bulldogs. She replaced Joni Taylor, who stepped in after long-time coach Andy Landers retired in 2015.

Georgia finished with a 22-10 mark this season following its 82-73 overtime loss to Virginia in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs also appeared in the tournament in 2022, losing in the second round to Caitlin Clark and Iowa.

“We would like to thank Coach Abe for her leadership and wish her well moving forward,” Bulldogs athletic director Josh Brooks said. “We are committed to building on the proud tradition of Lady Bulldog basketball and will continue to support our program with the necessary resources for future success.

“We have an outstanding group of alumni and a dedicated fan base. Our search for a new head coach will focus on someone who will carry on this legacy and connect with our student-athletes, alumni and supporters in an impactful way.”

Before arriving at Georgia, Abrahamson-Henderson was the head coach at Missouri State, Albany and UCF, leading her teams to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances.
