Entering her fifth season as Stonehill's Head Women's Tennis Coach, Pam Arpe looks to build on the success she has achieved in her first four campaigns at Stonehill College, which includes two trips to the NCAA Tournament.
The 2008 season saw the Stonehill come within one win of matching the school record set in 2006, as they finished 16-7. Arpe guided the Skyhawks to their fourth straight Northeast-10 Tournament appearance during her tenure, as senior Daniella Granato and the doubles team of freshman Lindsey Herschel and senior Elise Clark were named to the NE-10 First Team. Their season ended in the semi-finals for the second consecutive season as they were beaten by eventual conference champion Bryant.
Arpe led Stonehill to a 7-4 overall record and 4-2 in the Northeast-10 in 2007, the lowest total during her head coaching tenure at Stonehill. However, the Skyhawks reached the Northeast-10 tournament semifinals again 2007, falling to St. Michael's. Arpe also had five players receive all-conference recognition for their efforts.
In 2006 Arpe led the Stonehill to a school-record 17 victories and saw the Skyhawks claim their fourth Northeast-10 Conference regular season championship in school history with a perfect 12-0 league slate. Arpe guided her crew to the Northeast-10 tournament title match for the second straight season as well as the program's second straight and third NCAA tournament appearance in four seasons. For her efforts she was honored by her peers as the 2006 Northeast-10 Coach of the Year.
In her first season at the helm, Arpe immediately made an impact, guiding her charges to a 13-3 overall mark and the runner-up spot in both conference regular season and tournament play while earning a trip to the 2005 NCAA Division II Championships.
Success has certainly been no stranger to Arpe since her arrival at Stonehill in 2000, as she guided the Skyhawk field hockey team to a pair of Northeast-10 Conference championships including a spot in the 2005 Final Four before stepping down prior to the 2008 season.
Arpe came to Stonehill after serving as assistant athletic director, varsity field hockey coach and varsity girls tennis coach at North Yarmouth Academy in Yarmouth, Maine, where she led the tennis team to a pair of state championships.
Prior to that, she served as varsity field hockey coach at Greely High School in Cumberland, Maine.
A 1972 graduate of Principia (Ill.) College with a degree in elementary education, Arpe spent two seasons at her alma mater as the Head Women's Basketball and Softball coach after spending eight years as the assistant athletic director, varsity field hockey coach and varsity girls tennis coach at Joel Barlow High School in Redding, Conn.
She was named as the 1991 Connecticut Coach of the Year in Girls Tennis and led Joel Barlow to an overall mark of 154-4 (.975) mark and eight consecutive state championships during her tenure, including a state record 122 straight dual-match victories.
Arpe is the mother of two daughters, Ashley and Amanda and
