Mount Mercy women's basketball Coach Micha Mims will be stepping aside at the conclusion of the 2019-20 season to pursue other professional opportunities, Athletic Director Paul Gavin announced Wednesday.

The search for a new head coach will begin immediately.

The Mustangs compiled a 25-67 record during her first three seasons and are 4-17 overall and 1-15 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference this year, making her 29-84 overall.

Mims returned to her alma mater to lead the women's basketball program in March 2016 after serving as an assistant coach at Culver-Stockton for two years.

Mims was inducted into the Mount Mercy Athletic Hall of Fame in 2018. During a three-year playing career with the Mustangs, she was an NAIA Division II all-American, first-team all-Midwest Collegiate Conference selection and academic all-conference.

Mims helped the Mustangs reach the quarterfinals of the 2012 NAIA Division II Women's Basketball National Championship.
