On Wednesday, Southern Connecticut State University announced the sudden passing of their head coach Tim Quill, just one day before the Owls are set to compete in their conference championships.
Quill had been the head coach at SCSU for 28 years, and under his direction, the Owls have won 34 Conference Championships — 17 men and 17 womens. The women have won five straight meets from 2020-2025 (there were no 2021 championships), and the men have won four straight from 2022-2025.
During his time at the helm of the program, he coached 121 All-Americans, and 19 individual NCAA Champions, including Ben Michaelson, who won NCAA DII Swimmer of the Year three times. He also earned Conference Coach of the Year honors 24-times since the creation of the conference — 12 titles for each program, and he earned six Metropolitan Conference Coach of the Year awards before SCSU moved into the NE10.
The NE10 Championships start tomorrow in Worcester, Massachusetts. In the pre-championship poll released by the NE10 yesterday, the women were picked as the #1 team and the men were picked 3rd behind Bridgeport and Adelphi and tied with Bentley.
Quill graduated in 1989 as a four-time All-American at Alfred University, and he is survived by his wife Brenda and their two children, Lilianna and Timothy V.
Terrance Jones, the SCSU Athletic Director said, “Tim embodied everything we strive for at Southern Connecticut State University. For nearly three decades, he poured his heart into our swim and diving program, shaping not only champions in the pool but remarkable young people beyond it. His commitment, his steadiness, and his genuine care for our student athletes made him a pillar of this community. Tim’s legacy is one of service, mentorship, and heart. We honor his life, his work, and the profound mark he left on every student he coached.”
