Basketball
Beaumont won a share of the North Coast League division titles in each of the final two years that the league existed (2018-19 and 2019-20) and coach Derrick Russell was tabbed as the North Coast League Coach of the Year in 2019-20 before the NCL evolved into the Crown Conference.
Most recently, Sophia Boes ’23 was named first team All-Crown Conference after the inaugural 2021-22 season.
Two of Russell’s players, Carly Perusek ’20 and Lydia Gattozzi ’21, surpassed the 1,000-point mark during their careers to join Mary Browne ’83, Eileen Wittman ’99 and Annie Bova ’12 as the five players in program history to reach the mark.
