[Women's Basketball] Tigers name Nickel new women's coach

Georgetown College Vice President of Athletics Brian Evans was pleased to introduce the women's basketball program's 10th head coach Wednesday afternoon in the LRC Ward Room.

"It's a great day in Tiger athletics as we welcome Coach Jeff Nickel to the athletic staff and hand him the reins of our women's basketball program," Evans said. "He should be a very familiar face to all our athletes and fans as he's led Shawnee State University the past eight years."

Nickel took over the Bears in 2013-14, posting a record of 214-60, a 78 percent winning percentage. Inside the Mid-South Conference, SSU was 95-32 (75 percent). The Bears won five conference tournament crowns and three regular season titles.
