SOUTH ORANGE, NJ - Rick Simpson has resigned as head men's and women's swimming and diving coach at Seton Hall University, it was announced on July 12 by director of athletics Jeff Fogelson.

Simpson resigned to become the head coach for the men's and women's programs at Villanova University.

Simpson recently completed his third year at Seton Hall, compiling an overall dual meet record of 16-21 with the men's squad and 16-22 with the women's team. The Pirate men's team achieved a 5-5 mark this past season, for the first-ever .500 record in the history of the program.
