OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Stevenson Head Women's Basketball Coach Jackie Boswell announced her retirement from collegiate coaching on Wednesday morning and will transition into a full-time administrative role. Boswell will serve as Stevenson's Associate Athletics Director for Compliance and Student-Athlete Development. Boswell will continue to serve as the department's Senior Woman Administrator (SWA), while remaining as acting head coach until a successor is named.

"I am deeply grateful for Coach Boswell's leadership of our women's basketball program over the past 15 seasons. Her commitment to excellence, student-athlete development, and competitive success has left a lasting impact and positioned the program for continued growth," said Athletics Director Jordan Hoover. "While she will be missed on the sidelines, I am thrilled to welcome her to our senior leadership team. Her experience, insight, and passion for developing student-athletes will play a vital role in advancing Stevenson Athletics and supporting an outstanding group of current and future Mustangs."

Boswell spent 15 years at the helm of the program, compiling 185 career wins— the most in program history. During her tenure, the Mustangs made six postseason appearances and reached several milestones, including an NCAA Second Round appearance, a MAC Commonwealth Championship, and an ECAC South Championship.

In 2014, Boswell was named MAC Commonwealth Coach of the Year. She also mentored the program's lone All-American, Sara Tarbert, who earned All-America honors from the WBCA and D3hoops.com, along with CSC Academic All-America recognition in both the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons. Under Boswell's leadership, Stevenson players earned 16 All-MAC Commonwealth selections. Tarbert was also named ECAC South Player of the Year and a three-time ECAC All-Star Team selection.

Prior to Stevenson, Boswell served as the head girls' basketball coach and athletic director at Seton Keough High School for 11 years. She led the Gators to a 235-82 record and six IAAM championship appearances, capturing the 2009 IAAM A Conference title. Her team was ranked No. 12 in the ESPN Rise Girls Basketball Rankings and won the ESPN Rise National High School Invitational in 2009. At the AAU level, her teams won five state titles and competed in eight AAU National Championships.

"As I prepare for this next chapter I am looking back on my time as a coach with deep appreciation to past and current players, coaches, administration, family and friends that have always believed in me," said Boswell. "This coaching career has been a blessing and a journey beyond anything I could have dreamed, and I will cherish the memories and the bonds made over the years. I am truly excited and grateful for this new leadership opportunity and look forward to the ongoing opportunities that I will have to serve our Mustang student-athletes."
