History

In the 1978–79 season, the Friars held the distinction of being the first team to play the new Harvard Crimson women's ice hockey team. The result was a 17–0 triumph. [3] In 1984, the Friars won the inaugural Eastern College Athletic Conference Women's Championship.

In Jackie Barto's first season as coach in 1994–95, the Friars were 18–9–4 and won the Eastern College Athletic Conference title. The following season, the Friars reached the ECAC championship game, but they lost to New Hampshire in a game that lasted five overtimes. The 1996–97 season were one of the most successful as Providence went 20–8–2, posting the program's eighth 20-win season. In 1997–98, Barto guided the Friars to the ECAC Tournament for the 15th consecutive season. [4]

Providence College made history on December 5, 2009, as the Friars came away with a 4–1 victory over #3 New Hampshire in Durham. Providence became the first Hockey East team to earn a victory at the Whittemore Center since the league's inception in 2002–03. [5] On January 9, 2010, Providence College women's hockey earned their 600th victory by defeating #8 Cornell by a score of 6–3. Junior Jean O'Neill tallied a goal and an assist. Genevieve Lacasse made 22 saves to record the victory. Providence joined New Hampshire as the only two programs with 600 victories. [6]

The Friars finished the season with a conference record 11–5–5 (overall record of 15–10–9) to finish atop the Hockey East standings for the first time. Bob Deraney won the Hockey East Coach of the Year award.

On January 10, 2011, the Friars and the Dartmouth Big Green played each other in an outdoor game at Fenway Park in Boston. Providence skater Brooke Simpson scored her first career NCAA goal. [7] With 1:14 remaining in regulation, Big Green forward Camille Dumais scored the game-winning goal on Providence netminder Genevieve Lacasse as the Big Green prevailed by a 3–2 mark. [8]
