Boston College Amy Kvilhaug announced she is stepping down as the program’s head coach and is set to retire after leading the Eagles for six seasons. She went 118-152 with her best season coming in 2024, when Boston College won 30 games. Boston College went 22-29 this season, but also saw star pitcher Abby Dunning throw only 12-plus innings this season.

“I would like to thank Boston College, the administration, my assistant coaches, and all the student-athletes who made my experience at BC so exceptional,” Kvilhaug said in a statement. “It was an honor and privilege to serve as the leader of the softball program. I am so grateful for my time as an Eagle,” Kvilhaug said.  “As I embark upon my next career endeavor, I plan to continue to serve others through the mission BC instilled in me of men and women for others. I wish for nothing but continued success to the program, department, and all my colleagues who have made my time at BC so special. Go Eagles!”

Kvilhaug also served as head coach at Radford (2002-06) and St. John’s (2006-18).  In her 22 seasons, she compiled 527 victories at the NCAA Division I level.

“I would like to thank Amy for her dedication to Boston College and our softball program,” said William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Blake James. “We appreciate her efforts over the past six years and wish her all the best in the future.”
