Val Julien transitioned into an administrative role in facilities and events in June 2015 after 29 seasons as Stockton's head softball coach. Julien posted a career record of 539-511-2 in 1,052 games at the helm of the Osprey softball program. Julien, a 2008 inductee into the New Jersey ASA Hall of Fame, led the Ospreys to three ECAC championships (2008, 13, 14) and 12 20-win seasons, topped by a school-record 33 victories in 2013.
Julien notched a pair of milestones during the 2014 campaign, reaching the 500-win mark with a 5-4 triumph over RPI on March 10, 2014 and coaching her 1,000th game later in the season. In 2013, Julien guided the Ospreys to a school-record 33 wins plus the program’s first NJAC playoff berth since 2010 and fourth ECAC title. Julien led the Ospreys to perhaps their most memorable season in 2010 when Stockton came within one victory of an NJAC championship and set a school record with 28 wins. The 2010 campaign also yielded Julien’s 400th career win, a 3-0 shutout of Baruch on April 1. Â
In 2008, Julien led Stockton to its first ECAC championship in 22 years and the first of two straight 27-win seasons. The success of 2008 was the culmination of a four-year run in which Julien led Stockton to at least 23 victories per season and three ECAC tournament berths. During that span, the Ospreys qualified for the NJAC tournament in 2007 for their first NJAC playoff appearance since 2000, and Julien earned her 300th career victory on April 1, 2006 when Stockton defeated New Jersey City 14-2.
Julien coached Stockton to a school-record 25 wins and an ECAC tournament bid in 2005, finishing with a 25-15 overall record. In 2003, she steered the Ospreys to 23 victories, a school record at the time, and their first ECAC tournament berth since 1997.  Julien also reached a milestone on March 13, 2001 as she collected her 200th victory  with a 4-0 win over Carroll (WI). Â
Stockton posted its first 20-win season under Julien and fourth straight winning record in 2000. The Ospreys dominated the NJAC Blue Division from 1997-2000, winning the division with an 8-0 record for three straight years and sharing the title in 2000. Julien was named NJAC Blue Division Coach of the Year three times (1996, 97, 99).
Julien was elevated to the head coach position in 1987 after serving three years as an assistant coach at Stockton under Dot Hirschfeld. She notched her first winning season with the Ospreys in 1990 when she led her squad to a 19-15 mark and a third-place finish in the ECAC tournament.
In addition to her lengthy coaching stint at Stockton, Julien also was active for many years on the ASA level. She served as a coach for the New Jersey Divas ASA Women’s 23 & Under national championship team in 2003 as well as numerous Divas and South Jersey/New Jersey Rebels teams that won regional and state championships.
