Established as an intercollegiate varsity sport in 1981, the Middlebury women’s hockey team has developed a tradition of excellence that is well-known.
During the past 36 seasons, the Panthers own an impressive record of 681-180-56. The team convincingly captured the ECAC Division III Championship from 1996-2001 and won the 2000 and 2001 AWCHA National Championships. Middlebury followed that stint with an impressive three-year run, capturing NCAA titles in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
The team advanced to the final four in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2022, 2024 and 2025. The 2021-22 team capped a perfect 27-0-0 season by hosting the championship weekend and claiming the NCAA title. The squad was the first to ever finish the year with an unblemished mark. The program claimed three-straight NESCAC Championships (2016, 2017, 2018), and has won 12 overall, most recently in 2024. Middlebury boasts 46 All-American selections.
