After guiding her team to 50 wins over the last five seasons, Sarah Dacey has announced that she is stepping down from her position as head coach of the Babson College women's soccer program. In conjunction with this move, Babson Director of Athletics Josh MacArthur announced Tuesday that longtime assistant Nellie Pineault has been promoted to the role of acting head coach for the 2010 season. Dacey departs Babson after a successful four-year stretch that saw the Beavers go 50-30-17 with a pair of third-place finishes in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference regular season standings. In 2007, she guided her squad to the NEWMAC Championship Game - the program's first finals appearance in 10 years. With Dacey's departure comes a welcome opportunity for one of the department's own, as Pineault assumes the first head coaching duty of her 11-year Babson career. [+]
