In addition to his success on the soccer field at Green Mountain, Dempsey also served as head women’s basketball coach where he directed his team’s to Mayflower Championships five times while being named Coach of the Year on six occasions.

A legendary high school player in his native New Jersey, Dempsey went on to become a four-year First Team All-Conference play at Glassboro State College (now Rowan College) and was captain of the 1981 National Championship Team while earning All-American honors.
