Judy Parrish Oberting stepped down as coach of the women's hockey team on June 22, culminating a tremendous five-year tenure. From 1998 to 2003 her teams amassed a 114-40-8 record, won the Ivy League in 2001 and 2002 and harvested the 2001 and 2003 ECAC championship titles. The 2002-03 squad finished third at the NCAA championships and set a school record with 27 victories. Judy was named National Coach of the Year for the 1999-2000 season and also won ECAC and New England Writers Coach of the Year honors. Her contributions behind the bench and in the lives of her players have been many and she will be missed greatly in Thompson Arena and on campus. She is looking forward to spending more time with her husband Kip and son Silas.
