The 2011 NCAA title was Princeton's second in the last six years. In 2006, she put together one of the greatest college crews in NCAA history with a squad that went undefeated and won the national championship by open water. Her crew in 2011 was equally dominant, going 13-0 in the regular season and then sweeping both postseason competitions.

Dauphiny's 2012 team was arguably as impressive as its predecessor. Despite losing four All-America rowers from its national championship boat, Princeton returned to the NCAA grand final and placed fourth. Each of Princeton's boats reached their respective grand finals for the first time in more than a decade, and the team also won the overall points title at the inaugural Ivy League Sprints.

Princeton's performance at the 2011 EAWRC Championships (the final year before the Ivy League Sprints) was as impressive as any in recent history. Not only did the open women win their 11th Eastern title, but Princeton swept the 2V, V4 and 3V competitions as well. While the varsity eight placed first at the NCAA Championships, the team also added a fourth-place finish; in 16 NCAA Championship appearances, Princeton has been among the top four six times.

Dauphiny also had a memorable season in 2010, when she led Princeton to a 12-0 regular season and the top ranking in the final regular season national poll. Princeton was edged by Yale in the EAWRC final, but it finished its season with two major medals. Following its silver in the Eastern Championships, Princeton went on to win bronze in the NCAA Championships.

Overall, Princeton will head into the 2012-13 season having won 35 of its last 37 races.

Of course, it's not like success has been a recent development for Dauphiny. She enters the 2013 season with a career record of 165-20 (.891), and she has led the Tigers to four EAWRC titles in her first 16 years (1997, 2004, 2006, 2011). She has also guided Princeton to the NCAA Championships in every year the regatta has been held, and she has led three boats to gold medals (1997 2V, 2006 V8, 2011 V8). As a team, Princeton has placed in the top five eight times, including each of the last three years.

A multiple-time Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year, Dauphiny led the Tigers to a second-place finish at the 2005 NCAA championships and a fourth-place finish the year before. During the three-year run of 2004-06, Princeton won an NCAA title and two Eastern championships and reached the grand final at the 2004 Royal Henley Regatta. Her squad advanced to the final of the Remenham Challenge, where it fell to the Thames Rowing Club and University of London. She returned to Henley in 2011 with her EAWRC/NCAA champion V8.

She has also placed several recent rowers in major international competitions. Caroline Lind was part of the U.S. gold medal-winning 8+ at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Lind and Lia Pernell both competed in the 2007 World Rowing Championships, and Lind’s 2006 U.S. team won gold in world-record time. Andreanne Morin also rowed in the 2008 Olympics in the Canadian women’s eight. Both also competed in the Senior World Championships during the summer of 2011, while four current rowers competed at the U-23 World Championships.

Dauphiny, who also worked with the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team, was named head coach of women’s crew at the conclusion of the 1996 season after leading the novice program to five straight Eastern Sprints titles. She was named EAWRC Novice Coach of the Year in 1993 and 1994 and Varsity Coach of the Year in 1997, 2004, 2006 and 2011. She was also named Woman of the Year by USRowing in 2006, an award given in recognition of outstanding contributions to women’s rowing. Prior to her arrival at Princeton, Dauphiny spent two years at Columbia coaching the women’s novice crew.

A 1985 graduate of Washington, she enjoyed an outstanding collegiate career that included a second-place finish at the 1984 National Collegiate Rowing Championships. She also was a three-time winner at the Pac-10 Conference championships, the West Coast’s equivalent of the Eastern Sprints. Dauphiny twice won gold medals for the U.S. at the Canadian Henley.

Dauphiny has spent summers since 1997 working with the U.S. national team and coached the pair and lightweight double at the 2004 Olympics.
