WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Two former volleyball coaches who claimed they were fired from the University of Delaware based on age and sexual orientation are appealing a judge's ruling in favor of the school.
A federal judge ruled last month that Bonnie Kenny and Cindy Gregory had failed to show that the university's stated reasons for firing them were pretext for discrimination.
Attorneys for Kenny and Gregory filed a notice of appeal on Thursday. Kenny and Gregory are a lesbian couple in their 50s.
They were fired in 2016 following three losing seasons and complaints about abusing and mistreating players.
