Foxborough's Sarah Behn Named Head Coach at UMass Lowell

Sarah Behn, Foxborough alum and girls' varsity basketball coach, was named head coach of the UMass-Lowell women's basketball team yesterday, April 5.

Director of Athletics at UMass-Lowell, Dana Skinner, made the announcement.

Behn will be the sixth head coach in the program’s 36-year history.

“Sarah Behn’s accomplishments as one of the region’s greatest players, her operation of the largest basketball camp program in New England, along with her past experience coaching at the high school and college levels made her a compelling candidate from the beginning of the process,” Skinner said in the UMass-Lowell press release.

The UMass-Lowell Riverhawks went 9-18 last season with a 8-14 mark in the NE-10, getting knocked out by Saint Michael's in the first round of the conference tournament.

Behn has spent seven years as the head coach for the Foxborough Warriors. She has been the driving force behind the Warrior's 6 MIAA Tournament appearances.

Behn will continue to maintain a presence in the Foxborough community, as a resident and as the President of the Sarah Behn Basketball Camp. The camp, established in 1994, has developed more than 25,000 young women and men.
