Oswego State has hired Liz McGrail as its new head coach for women's soccer. McGrail was the head coach at Tri-State College in Angola, Ind., in 2005 and prior to that she served as an assistant coach at Oneonta for three seasons.

"We will be a blue-collar team and plan to outwork our opponents on and off the field," McGrail said, "and also represent the university with class."

McGrail knows what it takes to be a part of a championship program after leading Oneonta to three SUNYAC titles and three NCAA Tournament appearances as a player from 1997-2000. McGrail is the only player in SUNYAC women's soccer history to have been named conference MVP three times (1998, 1999, 2000).

"I'm excited to be back in the SUNYAC. It's a great conference and I don't think there's any reason why Oswego State shouldn't be competing for the championship," McGrail said.

McGrail, a native of Stamford, is an active member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. She earned a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Oneonta in 2001 and is working toward her master's degree in Sport Coaching from the United States Sports Academy. McGrail replaces Erin DeMarco, who coached the Lakers for two seasons and is now the head coach for women's soccer at Bryn Mawr College.
