Sara Myers, Head Coach | e-mail

Sara Myers begins her third season as the head field hockey coach at Wilkes University. Myers guided the Lady Colonels to an overall record of 9-10 and a berth in the Freedom Conference playoffs during her first season, while leading the squad to a 9-9 mark a season ago.

Myers arrived at Wilkes after spending the 2005 season as the head coach at the University of Scranton. Myers helped Scranton turn their field hockey fortunes around during her only season with the program. The Lady Royals went just 6-12 in 2004, but under the guidance of Myers they improved to 10-9 and earned a berth in the Freedom Conference championship contest. The turnaround helped land Myers Freedom Conference Coach of the Year honors.

Myers was a standout player at Crestwood High School and was a member of four District 2 championship teams. She earned All-Wyoming Valley Conference honors and was also a member of the Academic All-State team.

Myers earned her bachelor's degree in Public Relations from Susquehanna University, where she was also a four-year starter on the field hockey team. A team captain during her senior season, she earned the team's Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards following both her junior and senior campaigns. An All-Commonwealth Conference selection as a senior, Myers was also a member of the Middle Atlantic Conference Academic Honor Roll.

After graduating from Susquehanna Myers went on to Goucher College where she spent two seasons as an assistant field hockey coach. Myers also garnered her master's degree in Athletic Administration and Leadership from the Maryland-based school in 2003.
