I am delighted to offer additional participation opportunities for female student-athletes to receive a Jesuit education at this great institution.”

Saint Joseph’s officials indicated the search for a head coach will begin soon and that the women’s team will need placement in a conference. St. Joe’s competes in the Atlantic 10 in all other sports.
