Montclair State head women's coach Beth O'Boyle has stepped down from her position to become the first assistant coach at Division I Canisius. Canisius went 16-14 last season, the Golden Griffins' fifth consecutive winning campaign.

O'Boyle went 51-32 at Montclair State over three seasons, including an 18-10 mark this past season and an ECAC Metro championship. Montclair went 33-14 (.706) in NJAC play under O'Boyle, including a 14-4 mark during the 2005-06 campaign, Montclair's best league record in seven years.

In addition to her career with MSU, O'Boyle also served as the head coach of two Division III All-Star teams that have competed abroad. Two years ago, O'Boyle guided her squad to a bronze medal at the 2005 Eastern University Games in Tamworth, Australia and in 2006 led a team that competed in the Brazilian Basketball Experience.

O'Boyle came to Montclair from the University of Rochester, where she served as an assistant coach for the Yellow Jackets for four seasons (2001-2004), including back-to-back NCAA Division III Final Four appearances in 2003 and 2004. Rochester won back-to-back ECAC titles in her first two seasons with the program.
