Kelly Robichaud

Following three seasons as an assistant, Robichaud stepped in as the interim head coach of the softball program for the 2022-23 academic year after Hannah Quintana resigned following the 2022 season.


She led the Bombers to a 25-10-1 regular season record and 10-4 mark within the Liberty League, which qualified them as the No. 3 seed in the Liberty League Tournament where they finished as runner-up. Ithaca finished the season with a 27-12-1 overall record, which also saw six members of the squad earn All-Liberty League.


Following the Liberty League runner-up finish, it was announced in May 2023 that Robichaud was named named the sixth head coach in program history.


Ithaca softball standout Kelly Robichaud '16 returned as the Ithaca College softball program's newest assistant coach, announced by head coach Hannah Quintana '07 and Athletics Director Susan Bassett '79 on September 6, 2020.


During her time as a player at Ithaca, Robichaud played in 144 games, making 142 starts as both a catcher and a utility player.


Robichaud was named the Empire 8 Player of the Year following a stellar senior season in 2016. She finished with a .390 batting average after notching 41 hits, which included nine doubles, two triples and a conference-leading 12 homeruns.


She also picked up First-Team All-Empire 8 and National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Northeast Region First Team accolades.


As a junior Robichaud led IC with a .417 batting average and a team-high 45 hits and 12 doubles on the season. She also led the Bombers with 75 total bases and earned a First-Team All-Empire 8 selection.


Robichaud, who moved to the Boston area following her graduation from Ithaca, spent the 2019 softball season as an assistant coach at Emmanuel College, where she worked with hitters and catchers.
