HAMILTON, N.Y. ‘ 51·çÁ÷ Athletic Director Mark Murphy has announced that Scott Wiley has been named the Raiders’ women’s ice hockey coach.

‘I’m very excited about the future of the program under Scott,’ Murphy said. ‘Scott has been big part of the success the program has enjoyed over the last three years.

The players on the team have great respect for him and I am confident that the program will continue to improve under his leadership.’
‘It’s a great opportunity for me to become a head coach at an institution that I believe so strongly in,’ Wiley said. ‘I am excited about the challenges that lie ahead and am confident that we have the pieces in place to take this program to the next level.’
‘I would like to thank Mark Murphy and everyone in the Athletic Department for giving me an opportunity that I have been waiting for my entire life,’ Wiley added. ‘It gives me a great deal of confidence knowing that there was so much support for my candidacy.’
