Fowler was just the second coach in the program’s 12-year history, assuming control prior to the 1996-97 season. He led the Bengals to the school’s first-ever SUNYAC playoff appearance in 2000-01 and amassed a 52-133-13 record at Buffalo State.

A search to hire a new part-time head coach will begin immediately.

This becomes the second coaching vacancy in the SUNYAC this offseason. Brian Hills stepped down at Geneseo in June to take a position as an assistant coach at RIT.
