Ohio Northern assistant director of athletics Michele Durand is leaving the University to become the head women's basketball coach at the University of Findlay.

She was named assistant director of athletics on April 1, 2020, and has served as the senior women's administrator since the fall of 2016.

Durand served as ONU's head women's basketball coach for 19 seasons from 2002-20.

Durand is the all-time winningest basketball coach in Ohio Northern history, posting a 333-185 record for a winning percentage of .643.

"We are so grateful for Michele's leadership over the past two decades," ONU director of athletics Tom Simmons said. "Her commitment to our students and our University needs to be acknowledged. We wish her all the success in the future."
