GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida women's volleyball coach Mary Wise, who has the sport's fourth-most wins in NCAA Division I history, has announced her retirement. Wise formally stepped down Thursday following a team meeting. She ended a 34-year tenure in Gainesville during which she led the Gators to the NCAA Tournament every season. Florida made the Final Four eight times under Wise, including two runner-up finishes and won a league-leading 25 Southeastern Conference championships. She says "after 43 years in the arena, the time to step away is now."
