December 09, 2019 | Field Hockey
GILBERT, Ariz. – The NFHCA announced Monday that the BC field hockey coaching staff of head coach Kelly Doton and assistant coaches Mark Foster, Maggie Reddecliff and Jill Gambino as the 2019 Spiideo/NFHCA Coaching Staff of the Year in the northeast region.
Â
The staff led BC to unprecedented success during the 2019 season. After a 4-5 start, the Eagles won seven of its last eight regular season games in route to a program-best 4-2 ACC record and second seed in the ACC Championships. The Eagles then went on to make their first ACC Championship game in program history.
Â
BC then went on to make its first final four run in program history. The Eagles defeated No. 11 Northwestern in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, 2-1, and then No. 5 Louisville, 2-1 (5-4 SO), two days later. BC would fall to eventual national champion North Carolina in the national semifinal to end one of the best seasons in BC field hockey history.
Â
BC saw unprecedented success this season, as Doton was also named ACC Coach of the Year – the first in program history – and Margo Carlin was named the program's first ACC Freshman of the Year.
Â
The Eagles were one of five staffs to be recognized as the best in the region.
