DENVER – University of Denver Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation and Ritchie Center Operations Peg Bradley-Doppes has signed a five-year contract extension, announced today. Bradley-Doppes will remain with the Pioneers through the 2012-13 season. Per University of Denver policy, terms of the five-year extension were not disclosed.

The Pioneers have captured two NCAA national championships and have made 11 NCAA tournament appearances under Bradley-Doppes’ leadership since March of 2005. DU has also made 11 tournament appearances, and garnered five individual national championships and seven conference titles during Bradley-Doppes’ tenure. The Pioneers also captured the Sun Belt Conference Graduation Award for the seventh consecutive year in 2007. Bradley-Doppes recently hired Joe Scott to guide the men’s basketball program.

“I consider it a privilege to remain a Pioneer for the next five years,” Bradley-Doppes said.

“The University of Denver stands for everything that is right about collegiate athletics. DU is poised for excellence with its continued commitment to strong academics, superior facilities and nationally-competitive sport programs. We’re really excited about the next phase of Pioneer athletics.”
