Quinnipiac women’s basketball head coach Tricia Fabbri announced her retirement following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, per Quinnipiac Athletics’ X account Monday morning. 

Fabbri has served as head coach for the Bobcats for 31 years, leading the Bobcats to five conference championships and five NCAA Tournament appearances in her three-decade run. 

“Thirty-one years ago, I accepted an offer from Burt Kahn to become the first full-time coach of the women’s basketball program at Quinnipiac. Simply put, it has been the best decision of my life,” Fabbri said to Quinnipiac Athletics. “The people, my coaching staff and, most importantly, the young women that I’ve been fortunate enough to coach have made my life fulfilling beyond my wildest expectations.”

Fabbri will retire as the winningest coach in program history, with 570 wins as of publication, also making her the second winningest coach in Quinnipiac Athletics history, behind men’s ice hockey head coach Rand Pecknold, with 692.
