She was the 2021 Patriot League Coach of the year. Coach of the year for the 2021 Spring Season that Goholycross.com has labeled the 2020 season in the drop down menu of prior schedules? The team was 5-5 in league play and made the PLT during that shortened campaign. Then the bottom dropped out of the program. What happened? Schedule quirk, since they only played 4 opponents that year due to the pod system?
If you go through the entire VB history on GoHC.com, which goes back to 2004-05... they have zero winning seasons, maybe 3 seasons with 10+ wins.
Maybe the coach isn't the problem.

Updated 10/31 (after missing last week):
1. ✝️Football 8-0. Epic walk-off victory over Fordham after a sub-par effort against Lafayette. Defense will need some work if we want to beat the big boys in December.
2. Field Hockey 7-10. After getting blanked by Lehigh and Lafayette, the squad rebounded with a Senior Day victory over Towson. The team finished 5-2 at home so maybe there’s some magic in the new field.
3. Soccer (M) 4-9-4. 0-2-1 since the last poll keeps Men’s Soccer in third place. Two ugly road losses by a combined 9-1 to Harvard and Bucknell have on either side of a 1-1 draw with Navy on Senior Day.
4. Soccer (W) 2-11-4. A 2-0 road win at Navy followed by an ugly 4-1 loss to Colgate in a Cousy Cup game to end the season.
5. Volleyball 3-21. 3 more losses and a 3-1 win over Bucknell since the last poll. Three more road matches left in the season.

Among the Olympic fall sports HC was the only school not to have at least one team in the playoffs

UNH did play PC in men’s soccer. They lost. So much for that national ranking foley was so excited about in the pre-season. Well, UNH and Vermont both from the America East won their first games in the 2022 NCAA Tournament on Thursday...Now in the round of 32. Pretty impressive for schools further north than HC to compete on a national stage consistently without being in a power conference. It is UNH's fifth time advancing to the second round in the last six seasons.

Amazing how many posters are not bothered by our atrocious performance in minor sports - accepting mediocrity with a yawn. I say congrats to UNH and UVM for their success

Congratulations to UVM and UNH. In non-scholarship minor sports HC has a disadvantage competing with State Universities: More sports, fewer students, higher tuition, more restrictive admissions, no winning traditions and so forth.
The first issue is competing in the PL. Kit is all about winning. He inherited two winning programs and extended both coaches. Now what will he do with the losing programs? Will he extend losing coaches at the end of their contracts or God forbid before the end? That's the biggest card he can play that he unilaterally controls.

A matter of priorities. How are those two schools' football programs doing?
Sader1970 management 101: "If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority."
HC has made a decision, for whatever reason, that we are going to have 27 +/- varsity sports with just over 3,000 students while much larger universities with 10-20 times the enrollment have fewer. You simply are not going to have all national champs or even league champs. That's reality. TPTB apparently think that rather than focus our energies on fewer sports and being better financed and coached in the selected sports doesn't serve the larger purposes/mission of the College. It is what it is.

Seems you’re ok with poor teams and claim there’s no solution - I disagree and I hope Kit is studying ways we can improve If all fails we need to pare down the number of sports - it is unfair to our athletes to ask them to work year-round (as D1 teams do) and not have a chance to succeed

As I've mentioned several times, participation will always trump winning in non-revenue sports at HC and it's all by design to reel in full-pay students whose parents get to brag their kid is a D1 athlete.

(My last post on the subject) Seems to me Colgate, Lehigh and Bucknell don’t need to employ that financial strategy

As you know, neither of these schools has football.

Love it to see the Big Bad (UCLA) Bruins flying all the way to Burlington. I hope the Montreal Express is blowing during the game.
