MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - The Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport released its annual Women in College Coaching Report Card (WCCRC) in collaboration with WeCOACH on Tuesday. Among 357 total institutions, Quinnipiac was one of just 20 schools to earn an "A" grade on the report, which signifies that at least 70% of the head coaches of Quinnipiac's women's teams are females.

Quinnipiac tied for the sixth-highest percentage of all 357 institutions (and best in the MAAC) with an overall rate of 75.0%. Of the 20 schools to receive an "A" grade, Quinnipiac had the most female head coaches of women's teams with 9 total.

The report, "Coaches' of women's collegiate teams: A comprehensive report on NCAA Division-I institutions, 2020-21," is an analysis of females vs. males holding head coach positions of women's teams in NCAA Division I. The report is authored by Tucker Center director, Nicole M. LaVoi, Ph.D., and Research Assistants Courtney Boucher and Hannah Silva-Breen.
