NEW HAVEN, Connecticut – Quinnipiac women's basketball head coach Tricia Fabbri was inducted into the New Haven Tap-Off Club Hall of Fame on the night of Tuesday, Nov. 10. Coach Fabbri was inducted in a six-member Hall of Fame Class of 2015 alongside former Quinnipiac men's basketball head coach Joe DeSantis at the Amarante's Sea Cliff in New Haven.
The all-time winningest coach in Quinnipiac women's basketball adds another impressive notch to her illustrious career as she is set to begin her 21st season on the Bobcats' sideline in 2015-16. Upping her career win total to 325 victories last season Fabbri guided the Bobcats to their fourth straight 20-win season, third straight appearance in the conference championship game and their fourth straight trip to a national postseason tournament as Quinnipiac won the MAAC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history.
A coaching legend on the campus of Quinnipiac, Coach Fabbri became the first female head coach to win 300+ games in their time with the Bobcats. She reached the 300-win plateau during the Bobcats' record-breaking 2014-15 season on Dec. 7, 2014 as she defeated her alma mater Fairfield, 67-66, on the same court in which she starred as a Hall of Fame player with the Stags.
The past four seasons has been filled with nothing but success for Quinnipiac as Coach Fabbri has guided her team to a 104-30 (.776 win percentage) overall record from 2011-15. The .776 win percentage over the last four seasons has Quinnipiac sitting tied for 19th in the nation, tied for 8th among mid-majors and 4th in the Northeast region. Coach Fabbri's 2014-15 squad also garnered votes in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches' Poll as well as high acclaim in the various national mid-major polls.
Coach Fabbri's latest Hall of Fame induction continues to build what is an already highly decorated assortment of awards both from her playing and coaching career. As a player, Coach Fabbri was named to the MAAC 25th Anniversary Team and was inducted into the Fairfield University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2002, she was also inducted into the Connecticut Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and the Delran (New Jersey) High School Athletic Hall of Fame before being inducted into the Albert Carino Basketball Club of South Jersey Hall of Fame in 2006. That year, she also received the St. Clare Award at the 22nd Annual Franciscan Sports Banquet.
Her current squad will kick off their 2015-16 season on Sunday at Army West Point and will open at home on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 11 AM against in-state foe Hartford.
