Boston College hires Saint Francis head coach Beth Krysiak to same position

The third Power Four head coaching hire has been made. Boston College announced on Friday that Saint Francis head coach Beth Krysiak will be the program’s newest leader.
“I am excited to be joining the Boston College family and to become an Eagle,” Krysiak said in a statement via the school. “I look forward to leading the program to new heights, upholding the exceptional experience of being a BC student-athlete, and developing confident and successful young women through softball. I am thankful to be blessed with the opportunity to lead at a historic place like Boston College, with an incredible reputation for preparing young people for success in life. I am eager to become a part of the competitive environment in the athletic department. Go Eagles!”
Krysiak takes over after leading Saint Francis to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments in her two seasons leading the Red Flash. However, the school announced that they’d be making the transition from Division I to Division III, and saw a mass transfer exodus this off-season. Krysiak clearly made the most of it by obtaining a Power Four job.
