Sarah Cartmill

Sarah Cartmill became an assistant women's basketball coach at Hamilton College in June 2017. Cartmill had served as the head women's basketball coach and an assistant athletic director at Bard College for the past three years. Her players received a pair of all-Liberty League team honors during her time at Bard.

Cartmill was an assistant coach at her alma mater Binghamton University for four seasons from 2010 to 2014. She helped guide Binghamton to a record of 19-12, including 11-5 in the America East Conference, in 2010-11. She was an assistant coach at St. Bonaventure University for another four seasons from 2006 to 2010. The Bonnies won 23 games, went 9-5 in the Atlantic 10 Conference and played in the Women's National Invitational Tournament in each of Cartmill's last two seasons. St. Bonaventure finished with a winning record every season she was on the coaching staff. She helped Ithaca College post a 9-5 record in the Empire 8 Conference as a graduate assistant coach in 2005-06.

The Ithaca, N.Y., native enjoyed one of the best careers in Binghamton women's basketball history as Cartmill is still second on the program's all-time list with 1,836 points and is fourth in rebounds. She holds the single-game record for most free throws made and owns the season and career marks for most free throws made and attempted.

The three-year starter played in all 30 games as a first-year when the team finished 26-4, won the conference title and earned a 1999 NCAA Division II championship appearance. As a sophomore Cartmill was on the all-conference first team and helped Binghamton to a 27-2 record and the 2000 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division II crown. She was all-region and all-ECAC in 2001 as she led the team in scoring. Binghamton went 22-7 and ended up ECAC Division II champs for the second straight year. Cartmill's senior year was the program's first in Division I. She was named the America East player of the year after leading the team in scoring again as Binghamton posted a 19-9 record and tied for second in the conference at 10-6. Her 35 points in a game against Hartford that season is still the most by any Binghamton women's player since the program moved to Division I. She was inducted into the Binghamton University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. 

Cartmill coached and played internationally in Ireland and Denmark from 2002 to 2005. She holds a bachelor's degree from Binghamton in English and earned her master's degree in sports psychology from Ithaca.
