Manchester, N.H. -- Maygan Cassarino has been named as the Saint Anselm field hockey head coach, announced Dr. Jo-Ann Nester, director of athletics. Cassarino replaces Kathryn Gaudreau, who resigned to become the field hockey and women's lacrosse head coach at Rivier College (N.H.).

"I am very happy to announce that we have hired Maygan Cassarino to head our field hockey program," said Nester. "Maygan has an outstanding player and coaching credential and I am excited that she has accepted our offer to take our program to the next level. Maygan will take our team on the Holland preseason trip that had been arranged by Coach Gaudreau, and she will receive all of the support necessary to allow the Saint Anselm field hockey program to attain success."
