Ithaca College Athletics

Robichaud was named the sixth head coach in Ithaca College softball history in May 2023 and recently completed her third season leading the program.

After serving three seasons as an assistant coach, Robichaud stepped in as interim head coach for the 2022–23 academic year. She guided the Bombers to a 25-10-1 regular season record and a 10-4 mark in Liberty League play, earning the No. 3 seed in the Liberty League Tournament, where they finished as runner-up. Ithaca concluded the season with a 27-12-1 overall record, with six players earning All-Liberty League honors.

In 2024, the Bombers once again surpassed the 25-win mark, finishing the season at 26-14. Robichaud coached three NFCA Region III All-Region selections, including First Team honorees Haley Petrucci and Anna Cornell. Petrucci also earned Third Team CSC Academic All-America recognition after leading the Liberty League with 12 home runs—tied for the third-most in a single season in program history alongside Robichaud.

The 2025 season marked another milestone, as Ithaca posted a 30-8 record and captured its first Liberty League Championship under Robichaud’s leadership. The Bombers led the conference in several key statistical categories, including batting average (.326), doubles (71), walks (115), earned run average (1.64), fielding percentage (.964), runs batted in (232), and total runs scored (249). Robichaud and her coaching staff were honored as the NFCA Region III Coaching Staff of the Year, capping off a standout season in which seven Bombers earned All-Liberty League honors. Among them, Anna Cornell and Sela Scheinman received NFCA Region III First Team and Second Team honors, respectively. Cornell went on to become the 20th NFCA All-American in Ithaca softball history and the program’s first honoree since Sydney Folk in 2012.

During her time as a student-athlete at Ithaca, Robichaud played in 144 games, making 142 starts as both a catcher and a utility player.
 
Robichaud was named the Empire 8 Player of the Year following a stellar senior season in 2016. She finished with a .390 batting average after notching 41 hits, which included nine doubles, two triples and a conference-leading 12 homeruns.
 
She also picked up First-Team All-Empire 8 and National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Northeast Region First Team accolades.
 
As a junior Robichaud led IC with a .417 batting average and a team-high 45 hits and 12 doubles on the season. She also led the Bombers with 75 total bases and earned a First-Team All-Empire 8 selection.
 
Robichaud, who moved to the Boston area following her graduation from Ithaca, spent the 2019 softball season as an assistant coach at Emmanuel College, where she worked with hitters and catchers.
