Amy Sasin was named the Associate Director of Athletics for Facilities in July of 2023. In her new role, she will support the day-to-day operations of the UMass Dartmouth athletic facilities, as well as continued support of game management and work study coordination for the department.
Since 2010, Sasin has served a number of roles for the Corsairs Athletic Department. As the head softball coach, she guided UMass Dartmouth to prominence in the region, her most recent success displayed in back-to-back 30+ win seasons in 2022 and 2023. During that span, her squads posted a combined 63-24 record.
In the 2023 season, Sasin's Corsairs captured their first Little East Conference Championship, recording back-to-back victories in the championship round over Eastern Connecticut State to secure the Corsairs third NCAA Tournament berth and its first since 1990.
Over her 13-year career at the helm of the softball program, Sasin developed countless All-Region honorees, 25 All-Little East Conference candidates, including 10 on the First Team. A three-time Little East Coach of the Year – 2014, 2016, 2019 – Sasin’s squads advanced to the LEC Tournament nine times during her tenure from 2014 through 2023. The Corsairs made two appearances in the Championship final, including this year’s two-game victory over Eastern Connecticut.
In addition to serving as head coach, Sasin has also played a key role in field/facility setup and game day coordination, along with developing and maintaining a calendar of athletic facility usage. She has also been responsible for the coordination of the work study program within athletics – overseeing as many as 75 students at a time.
A native of Canton, Mass., where she played softball and ice hockey, Sasin went on to star at Bridgewater State. A 1999 BSU graduate, Sasin was a four-year starter for the Bears as a catcher, serving as team captain three times and twice earning All-American honors. Her team posted a record of 112-53, twice qualified for the NCAA Championships, and was the NCAA Division III Northeast Regional champion and an NCAA finalist in her senior year.
Sasin also has athletic administrative experience, serving as the assistant facilities manager at Wheaton, as an assistant athletic trainer at UMass Dartmouth from 2001 until 2002, and as the head athletic trainer at Oliver Ames High School between 2000 and 2009.
