Sarah Mansfield Lahl added to Field Hockey Staff
STORRS, Conn. – The UConn field hockey head coach, Paul Caddy, announced the addition of Sarah Mansfield Lahl to the staff as the new assistant coach.
Lahl, a former UConn Husky and member of the 2013 National Championship squad, joins UConn after currently working for the Princeton Tigers as an assistant coach. While at Princeton, Lahl worked with the goalies and the defense. Prior to her time at Princeton, Lahl served as an assistant coach for a year at Columbia and for seven years at UMass.
A four-year starter at UConn, Lahl was the first Husky in program history to be named All-American during all four years. During her senior season, Lahl only allowed 29 goals, recorded a .772 save percentage and held a 1.12 goals against average. She shut out Duke, 2-0, in the national championship game. In addition, she was named the 2010 BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year.
"Adding Sarah to our coaching staff is a great moment for our program. Bringing one of our most distinguished Huskies home to Storrs is an amazing addition," says Head Coach Paul Caddy. "Sarah's status as our only four-time All-American and National Champion, coupled with her decade of coaching experience, including NCAA tournaments and conference championships, speaks volumes about her capabilities. Additionally, her valuable experience coaching the USA Junior National Team further solidifies her expertise and dedication. It's an extraordinary time to be a Husky!"
This hire is pending successful completion of the University onboarding process.
