Elizabeth M. Regan contributed to the intercollegiate athletic programs as an athlete and coach for a total of 14 seasons, eight of which culminated in post-season tournament participation. Of those 14 seasons, four were as a basketball letterwinner between 1975 and ’79 under Hall of Fame coach Dr. Bob Miller and alongside charter Hall of Fame inductee and twin sister Kathy; two as a member of the softball program in 1977 and ’78 under Hall of Fame coach Clyde Washburne; two as an assistant under Miller with the women’s basketball program during the 1985-86 and 86-87 seasons and six as the first head coach of the women’s soccer program between 1986 and ’91. As both an athlete and coach, the New Britain native was part of numerous “firsts”. As an athlete, Regan was a member of the first post-season tournament qualifier and first national tournament qualifier as a sophomore basketball player in 1976-77, then lettered on the first fastpitch softball team that spring. As the women’s soccer program’s first coach, Regan complied a mark of 48-30-9 for a .603 winning percentage and directed the program to its first three post-season tournament berths and first NCAA Division III tournament invitation.
