Coaching[edit]

The Tigers finished the year with an 11–17 record. Lacey led the team to an 11–20 record in 2012–13, her only full season as head coach. She resigned effective 1 July 2013, after her then-fiancé T. J. Otzelberger accepted a coaching position with the men's basketball program at the University of Washington. Otzelberger is currently the head coach of the Iowa State Cyclones men's basketball. The two were married on 1 June 2013 in Milwaukee.
