Milwaukee - Marquette University head volleyball coach Pati Rolf has resigned her position with the University, Director of Athletics Steve Cottingham announced Thursday.

"We want to obviously thank Pati for all of her efforts over the course of the past seven seasons and wish her the best of luck in the future," Cottingham said.

Rolf compiled an overall record of 102-98 in nearly seven years at Marquette, including a conference mark of 48-45. The Golden Eagles are 27-27 under Rolf since joining the BIG EAST in 2005. MU owns three winning seasons (2004, 2005 and 2006) overall since Rolf arrived in 2002.

Assistant coach Erica Heisser will serve as interim head coach the remainder of the 2008 campaign. MU has four regular season matches remaining this year, including two in BIG EAST play.

A national search for a new head coach will be conducted.
