Sue (Picard) Rondeau ’02 was named as an assistant coach prior to the start of the 2014-15 campaign.

Rondeau, a former standout player at Saint Joseph’s, returns to her alma mater for her second stint as an assistant after serving as the girls basketball head coach at Bonny Eagle High School for seven seasons (2007-14). Previously, Rondeau was the junior varsity/assistant coach under Edward Feeney at Portland High School for four years (2003-07). She joined the coaching ranks immediately after graduating and worked as an assistant under Coach McDevitt during the 2002-03 season.  

During her time as a player at St. Joe’s, Rondeau averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists and netted 1,203 points over 107 career contests. A two-sport standout who also starred for the SJC softball team, she helped the Monks claim six conference titles, five regional championships and a pair of national tournament berths with a collective 192-84 (.696) overall record while on the court and the diamond.

A member of the 2009 Saint Joseph’s College Athletics Hall of Fame Class, Rondeau received All-Conference honors in 2000 and 2001 and garnered All-America and All-State recognition in 2001 while playing for a team that went 87-20 (.813) over four seasons. At the time of her induction, she ranked in the top 15 in 12 career statistical categories, including ninth in points, and never missed a game as a four-year contributor.

A three-time All-Conference catcher for the Saint Joseph’s softball program, Picard entered the Hall of Fame ranked first in career at-bats (516), second in hits (178) and doubles (49), and third in home runs (8), RBI (116) and stolen bases (41) and, as a senior, set the program’s single-season record with 56 RBI.

Coach Rondeau lives in Saco, Maine with her husband, Darrell, and son, Sam.
