Field Hockey Coaching Staff Earns Regional Praise

The Middlebury field hockey coaching staff earned National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Regional Coaching Staff of the Year honors for the fourth consecutive time. 
 
Head coach Katharine DeLorenzo and assistant coaches Lauran McNally and Andrea Way guided the Panthers to their fourth-straight national championship, becoming the first team to ever achieve the feat. The coaching staff led the team to a perfect 15-0 regular-season record while finishing the year with an unblemished 22-0 mark. The 22 victories set a new program record for most wins in a season and was the first time since 2007 that a Division III field hockey team finished the season undefeated.
 
Middlebury concluded the year on a 30-game unbeaten streak, winning 16-consecutive games in NCAA Tournament play dating back to the 2017 season. The Panthers recorded their 47th straight win on Kohn Field when they shut out Tufts in the NCAA Regional Final. 
 
The Middlebury coaching staff will now be placed on the ballot for NFHCA National Coaching Staff of the Year which is set to be released on Thursday, January 13.
