New Coach
Oswego State hires new field hockey and women's lacrosse coach
Oswego Field Hockey
The women’s field hockey team will have a new coach, Marushka Eddy.
Oswego State has hired Marushka Eddy as its women's lacrosse and field hockey coach. Eddy joins the Laker coaching staff after a successful playing career at Plymouth State in Plymouth, N.H. and coaching experience at Springfield College and American International College in Springfield, Mass.

Eddy is a graduate of Plymouth State where she played for the Panthers field hockey and women's lacrosse teams. Eddy played 60 games over four years in field hockey and recorded 20 points, 15 of which she scored during her senior year on six goals and three assists. Following her college playing career, she was an assistant coach for the field hockey team at American International College in 2005.

As a head coach, Eddy looks to build a Laker program with strong values.

"We will make a commitment to teamwork, patience, and dedication. Everything is going to take time," Eddy said. "Everyone has to do their share of the work. With all of the work that people are going to put in we will be successful on and off of the field. We are starting with a clean slate and that allows us to build a program with those ideals."

Eddy played in 65 games for the women's lacrosse team at Plymouth State and missed just four games in her four-year career. She finished with nine goals and three assists as a defender and midfielder. She has lacrosse coaching and recruiting experience at Springfield and AIC and has been a girls lacrosse official in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

She looks forward to building the lacrosse program throughout the year.
"I'm ecstatic about the season. I've had some time to do some recruiting of players, and in having the opportunity to meet with some other coaches, I have an idea of what is needed to be successful," Eddy said.

Eddy, a native of Nantucket, Mass., graduated from Plymouth State in 2004 with an undergraduate degree in physical education and will earn her master's degree in physical education from Springfield College later this year.
