Ben O'Brien has earned his second Coaching Staff of the Year honor after guiding the Lady Royals to the program's 11th conference championship, 14th overall. Since taking over the program in 2022, he has led his team to three unbeaten Landmark seasons and four conference titles. O'Brien, alongside assistants Hannah Angelini, Tom Kosin, and Erica Haefele, has quickly elevated the Lady Royals, capturing this award for the second time in the last four seasons. Together, the staff has developed a high-powered squad that currently ranks third in the nation in scoring, averaging 80.9 points per game. 

The Lady Royals are set to continue their season in the NCAA Tournament, tipping off against Framingham State University on March 6 at 8:30 p.m.
