Hannah Richard Joins Bucknell Field Hockey Coaching Staff

LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell seventh-year head field hockey coach Jeremy Cook on Friday announced the addition of former University of New Hampshire standout Hannah Richard to the Bison coaching staff. The two-time Second Team All-America East selection graduated from New Hampshire earlier this year with a degree in kinesiology: sports studies and a minor in business administration.

A Hopkinton, New Hampshire, native, Richard played in more than 80 games in her four-year career with the nationally ranked Wildcats. She totaled 29 goals and five assists while garnering nearly 50 starting assignments. Richard netted one goal in a 3-0 New Hampshire victory over Bucknell last October.

“I am very excited that Hannah will be joining our field hockey family here at Bucknell this fall,” said Cook, who ranks second on the Bison all-time wins list with 55. “She had a wonderful playing career at UNH and is ready to move into the coaching ranks. I have a ton of respect for the UNH program and I am sure that Hannah will bring a ton of knowledge and enthusiasm to our group.”

In addition to her high level of play, Richard has extensive camp coaching experience, having worked at a host of camps all over the northeast over the last five years. She has also served as a Futures Coach since January 2013, and began working with the Seacoast United Field Hockey Club in Hampton, New Hampshire, following the end of her own collegiate playing career.

Richard will join Cook and assistant coach Meghan Dawson on the Bison staff. Bucknell is coming off an 8-10 season that featured a sixth consecutive Patriot League Tournament berth.
