PHILADELPHIA – Temple University Vice President and Director of Athletics, Arthur Johnson, announced today that Tonya Cardoza will not return as the women's basketball head coach.  A national search will begin for her successor.
 
"I would like to thank Tonya for all she has done for Temple Women's Basketball over the last 14 seasons," said Johnson. "After evaluating the program over the course of this season, I feel that it is time for a change in direction.  We expect to be a perennial postseason team and we will look for the right coach to elevate the program to that status."
