The Trust Project What is this? GRAND FORKS — Assistant coach Adam Jacobson has resigned from the UND women's basketball program, the team announced Tuesday. Jacobson was hired in April of this year. There was no explanation of why he chose to step down in team's press release. ADVERTISEMENT "Adam and I met yesterday and he let me know that he was resigning from his position on staff," head coach Dennis Hutter said in the release. "We appreciate all that he has done for this program and we wish him all the best in the future." Prior to joining Hutter's staff this offseason, Jacobson spent four seasons as head coach of Western Colorado. Jacobson's addition marked a homecoming of sorts. The Fargo native played at UND from 2003-05 and later joined the women's program as an assistant coach from 2014-18. Jacobson's wife is a North Dakota native and UND graduate. His cousin, Ben Jacobson, played at UND from 1989-93 and was an assistant coach with the program for seven years. "I love UND," Jacobson told the Herald when he was hired in April. "Graduating from here, being here — I can't get away from it. ... It's just a really cool, unique university, and I want to help. I think the women's basketball program has so much potential to get back to where it wants to be, and I think Hutter has them on the right track." Hawks senior guard Jayda Maves also joined UND from Western Colorado this offseason. Hutter is off to a 1-1 start in his second season at the helm. The Hawks opened the season with an 81-68 loss to Minnesota Crookston before beating Minot State 84-68 last Sunday.

UND's season resumes this Thursday with a road trip to Milwaukee.
