Natalie Soffen has resigned as the women’s basketball coach at Nichols College and has been replaced by her assistant coach Alice Mullen. Soffen resigned after five seasons at the helm to spend more time with her growing family. A 2010 graduate of Rhode Island College, Mullen stayed on at her alma mater to serve as an assistant on the Anchorwomen’s staff the following year, guiding them to a program record-tying 20-7 showing and the second round of the Little East Conference Tournament for the first time in six years. Mullen had a hand in recruiting the Anchorwomen’s standout freshman class that helped RIC to the Little East regular season and championship titles in 2012.
