In 2007β08, Cal ranked among the top-five teams in 13 categories for the second straight season and was No. 1 in four areas. For the third consecutive year, Cal established school records for field goal percentage defense (35.1%, 1st Pac-10) and scoring defense (54.3 ppg, all-time Pac-10 record). Cal's 155 three-pointers made in 2007β08 broke the previous school record of 135, established in 1995β96. During her first Cal season in 2005β06, Boyle led a freshman-dominated Bears teamββto an 18β12 overall record, a sixth-place showing in the Pac-10 (10β8) and the school's first NCAA Tournament bid since 1993.

On March 20, 2018, Boyle announced her retirement from coaching after seven years as the head coach of the University of Virginia's women's team. She initially cited an undisclosed family matter, which she later revealed to The Washington Post as issues relating to her ongoing attempt to finalize the adoption of her 6-year-old Senegalese daughter Ngoty. At the time of her retirement, Boyle was preparing to return to Senegal with her daughter for required paperwork, a process that was expected to take a minimum of several months. But could possibly last years. After a total of 15 trips to Senegal, Boyle was able to finalize the adoption. And Ngoty entered the U.S. permanently on August 30, 2019.
