As a parent, this season was extremely disappointing. Be clear, this was not a rebuilding team , it was a strong, competitive group that had the ability to succeed, even at the Division I level in the NEC, if coached and positioned correctly. Instead, there was a clear lack of leadership and coaching ability. There didn’t seem to be a real understanding of the team’s strengths, no meaningful adjustments, and no plan to put players in a position to win. Beyond performance, there were also instances of inappropriate questions or interactions that made players uncomfortable, which is unacceptable. What’s most concerning is the overall impact, a strong, winning team was handed over and ended the season regressing across the board, from results to confidence and mental well-being. Student-athletes deserve leadership that supports both their development and their experience, and this season fell far short of that.
