Neil Yost, the first Mount St. Mary’s women’s swimming coach in program history, enters his seventh season as the women's swimming head coach at the Mount in 2011-12. The Mount has posted a 32-20 dual meet record under Yost, including a 24-11 mark in the last three seasons. The squad has finished sixth in the Northeast Conference Swimming & Diving Championships in the last three campaigns and a program-best fifth in 2007-08.

In 2010-11, two of Yost's swimmers earned the first medals at the NEC Championships in program history. Courtney Griffith finished second in the 100 fly and Patricia Yam placed third in the 200 fly. 

Along with the exploits in the pool, Yost's teams have excelled in the classroom as well. In the spring semester of the 2009-10 academic school year his team was recognized by the College Swimming Coaches Association for having a 3.0 grade point average or better. In addition, Maggie O'Connell Dubois was named the Northeast Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2010.

Mount St. Mary's notched a 3-4 season in its first full year as a program in 2006-07 and finished ninth at the NEC Championships. Yost and his squad picked up the team's first-ever dual meet win against the New Jersey Institute of Technology on Oct. 28, 2008 and also earned victories against Saint Peter's and NEC rival St. Francis (N.Y.). Yost started the program in 2005-06 with a team of walk-ons and the team competed in three events in its inaugural season.
