LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell field hockey head coach Jeremy Cook has announced the addition of Sam Carlino as an assistant coach. Carlino comes to Lewisburg after finishing a four-year playing career as a goalkeeper at the University of Massachusetts.
“Sam is bringing with her a ton of competitive experience at the highest level, from her time with the WC Eagles club, a four year starter at UMass, and now as a member of the US National Indoor Team,” Cook said. “This experience has provided her a very broad understanding of goalkeeping philosophy and training methods, and paired with her analytical mindset, will be a real asset to our goalkeepers and deep defense. We're very excited to have Sam joining us, and I have no doubt she'll be a role model and great mentor for both the goalkeepers and the team.”
A starting goalkeeper all four seasons for the Minutewomen, Carlino earned First Team All-Conference recognition as a junior and Second Team status as a freshman. She added NFHCA Second Team All-Region honors as a sophomore. A two-year team captain, Carlino helped UMass win three Atlantic 10 titles during her career, resulting in NCAA First and Second Round appearances.
Carlino gained valuable coaching experience while still a student at Massachusetts. She coached goalkeepers at camps at Trinity College and West Chester University, with the USA Field Hockey Futures, and with Element Athletics.
In addition to her collegiate career, Carlino further honed her goalkeeping skills with USA Field Hockey. She was invited to the USA National Team Trials in 2016. Prior to that, she trained with the Northeast Region, Junior National Camp and Under 21 Team, and competed in the 2013 Under 21 Junior World Cup in Germany.
Carlino graduated from Massachusetts in 2016 with a degree in environmental science. A Dean's List student, she was a four-time member of the NFHCA National Academic Squad and a three-time selection to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team.
