DES MOINES, Iowa -  Drake University women's tennis head coach Paul Thomson will not return as the program's head coach for the 2013-14 season, director of athletics Sandy Hatfield Clubb announced Wednesday.

“I want to thank Coach Thomson for his service,” Hatfield Clubb said. “We appreciate the commitment he made to the Drake and wish him the absolute best in his future endeavors.”

In his three seasons with the Bulldogs, Thomson's teams posted a 48-27 record and a 14-7 mark in Missouri Valley Conference matches.
