Is Dawn Plitzuweit going to be just one and done at West Virginia? Well, that’s the case according to multiple reports, including Mitchel Northam, who has contributed to WV Sports Now in the past.
Dawn Plitzuweit has emerged as Minnesota’s top target for its next coach, per source close to the situation.

These rumors come just hours after Plitzuweit’s Mountaineers were eliminated in the NCAA Women’s Tournament by Arizona. Plitzuweit took over a West Virginia program a year ago that was transitioning from the end of an era with former longtime head coach Mike Carey.
In Plitzuweit’s first season at WVU, she led West Virginia to a 19-10 record and an at-large bid in the NCAA Women’s Tournament.
