Corey Boilard has stepped down as the head coach of the Saint Anselm College women's basketball program after nine successful seasons to pursue a new opportunity. Century McCartney, previously an assistant coach, will take over as interim head coach. Boilard leaves a notable legacy, leading the Hawks to a record of 127-97 and several postseason appearances, including the program's first East Region Championship in 2019. Under his leadership, four players earned NE10 Player of the Year titles, and the team established itself as a competitive force in women's basketball.

By the Numbers
  • 127 wins in nine seasons, ranking second in program history.
  • Seven NE10 Conference tournament appearances and three NCAA tournament berths.
Yes, But

While Boilard's departure marks the end of an era, the Hawks have experienced significant growth and recognition under his leadership, which raises questions about the team's ability to maintain that momentum with a new head coach.

State of Play
  • Century McCartney starts her first season as interim head coach after two years as an assistant.
  • The Hawks had a strong start in the previous season, opening with a 6-0 record, and finishing with a 12-11 overall mark.
What's Next

McCartney aims to build on the successful foundation laid by Boilard, with expectations high for the upcoming season and the potential for continued player development and postseason success.

Bottom Line

The transition to a new coaching leadership presents both challenges and opportunities for the Hawks. Maintaining the competitive spirit and legacy established by Boilard will be crucial as they navigate this significant change.
