Albright College Athletics

Megan Monahan will enter her second season as Albright's head field hockey coach in 2011. 

In her first season on the sidelines, Monahan engineered one of the most impressive turnarounds in the programs history.  With a combined nine wins in 2010, Monahan tied the program record for most wins in a single-season.  

During her first season, Monahan helped netminder Marguerite DeLucas set the program record for most wins and shutouts in a single year with 9 and 6.  She also helped senior Caitlin Feldman '10 earn second team all-conference honors.

Monahan came to Reading after serving as the head field hockey coach at Rosemont College in 2009. During her time with the Ravens, Monahan was in charge of the program’s day-to-day operations from recruiting to team and player development.

When not on the field, Monahan has spent the last three years working at the international marketing firm, Accenture in Philadelphia. As one of the companies top marketing consultants, Monahan developed a $2.9 million strategic pharmaceutical marketing plan. She also interacted daily with client brand leaders and served as project SME for pharmaceutical brand planning on a global level.

A 2003 graduate of Lafayette College where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Business, Monahan was a standout member of the college’s Division I Field Hockey program.

One of the program’s most dominant forwards of all-time, Monahan still holds the single season record for goals scored and points. Her 65 career goals and 160 career points rank her second all-time, while her 32 career assists places her third all-time.

In her senior season, Monahan not only led her team to their seventh Patriot League tournament title, but was also named an NFHCA Second Team All-American, and led the nation in scoring with 33 goals. On top of her All-American honor, Monahan was also a two-time NFHCA All-Region selection, and was named the Patriot League’s Offensive Player of the Year twice.

After graduating from Lafayette, Monahan began her coaching career at West Chester University as an assistant coach. From there she traveled to upstate New York to serve as both an admissions counselor and assistant field hockey coach at Colgate University in Hamilton.

On top of her coaching responsibilites, Monahan also serves as the department's first full-time director of athletic marketing.  In June, Monahan was married in North Carolina.
