EUGENE, Ore. - The University of Oregon announced today that Katrina Dowd has resigned her position as the head lacrosse coach of the Ducks.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to be the head coach at Oregon, and I have certainly had a great experience," said Dowd. "I enjoyed working with our tremendous group of student-athletes, and leaving them is a very difficult decision. At this time, I am interested in pursuing other opportunities, but I will always have great memories from my time at Oregon. I appreciate the high level of support our program receives from the Oregon athletic department, and because of this and our student-athletes, great success is on the horizon for Oregon lacrosse."

Dowd was the head coach of the Ducks for two seasons (2017-18) and led the squad to an 18-17 record. Assistant coach Becca Block will serve as the interim head coach for the program.

The search for a new head coach for the Oregon lacrosse program is underway.
