Head Coach Judy Finerghty
With Finerghty at the helm, the Brewers have made three trips to the New York State championship, finishing fourth in 2000. The squad has been very competitive in the Vassar-hosted Betty Richey Tournament (finalist in 2005), as well as the Seven Sisters Championship. After the Brewers won a school record 13 games in 2000 and finished second in the Liberty League, Finerghty was named conference coach of the year. Prior to joining the Vassar staff, Finerghty served as the assistant lacrosse coach at William Smith College and helped the team to a 1988 appearance in the NCAA Division III finals. After a two-year stint as an assistant lacrosse coach at Bates in Maine, Finerghty was named head coach for SUNY Albany's newly created lacrosse team. Finerghty remains active in both lacrosse and field hockey coaches' associations. She has served on postseason playoff selection as well as player award committees. As a player at Guilford (Md.) College, Finerghty was named team MVP in 1987 and received the Richard Joyce Sportsmanship Award that year. In 1986, she was a Quaker Club Scholarship Award recipient.
