WORCESTER — The College of the Holy Cross has settled a lawsuit filed last year by former basketball player Ashley Cooper, who had alleged in her complaint that she was struck and verbally abused by veteran coach Bill Gibbons.
Holy Cross officials declined to discuss whether the settlement included any payment to Ms. Cooper.
“The parties have reached a confidential settlement of all claims in this case, and will have no further comment on this matter,” Holy Cross spokesman Ellen Ryder said in a written statement.
Ms. Cooper’s lawyers did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The U.S. District Court in New York, where the case had been filed, was notified of the settlement agreement Aug. 15, according to court records.
