ELMIRA, N.Y. – Former Elmira College women’s hockey goaltender Edith Racine ’05 has been selected as the winner of the AHCA Assistant Women’s Coach Award. Racine, currently an assistant head coach at Cornell University, is in her 17th year as an assistant NCAA coach.
The 2005 graduate was instrumental in Elmira’s back-to-back national championships in the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons, earning All-American Second Team honors for the 2002-03 season and First Team honors in the 2004-05 season. A starter all four years at Elmira College, Racine’s 53 career wins tie her for second all-time in program history, while her 1,655 saves and 4,440 minutes played stand alone atop Elmira’s record books.
After her time as a Soaring Eagle, Racine spent two seasons coaching at Brown University before joining Cornell University’s coaching staff in the fall of 2009, where she has served as both Assistant Coach and Associate Head Coach. During her tenure, Cornell advanced to the national title game in her first season, starting a run of three consecutive NCAA Frozen Four appearances (2010, 2011, and 2012), in addition to another appearance in the national semifinals in 2019 and being ranked No. 1 in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic began. The Big Red has won seven Ivy League titles, six ECAC Hockey regular-season crowns, and four ECAC Hockey tournament championships.
