Megan Huether, a former All-American goalkeeper, is now in her second season as an assistant coach with the Tribe program.

Huether primarily works with the team’s defense and goalkeepers and helps with practice planning and administrative duties for camps and clinics. She severs as the team’s compliance coordinator and academic coordinator and handles general recruiting issues and filming.

Last season, Huether’s guidance helped freshman goalkeeper Sara Beckstead earn a spot on the CAA’s All-Rookie Team, as the freshman netminder ranked third in the league with an average of 9.88 saves per game.

Huether began her collegiate coaching career here in the summer of 2006 under her former position coach after completing a standout four-year career at Duke. A two-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, Huether was named a First-Team All-American and the National Goalkeeper of the Year by the IWLCA in 2005 after helping lead the Blue Devils to an ACC title and the semifinals of the NCAA Lacrosse Championship.

With Huether, a four-year starter in goal, Duke recorded three consecutive trips to the NCAA Championship (2004, 2005, 2006) with another semifinal appearance this past season and posted an overall record of 61-18 during her career, which included a school-record 18 victories in 2006.

A native of Lutherville, Md., Huether graduated in May with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and was a three-time ACC Academic Honor Roll selection and a three-time Dean’s List member at Duke.

Active off the field as well, Huether served as the program’s summer office assistant in 2005 and was the team’s council representative from 2004-06. She also spent time as a student intern with the KidScope Early Intervention Program in Hillsborough, N.C., served as a classroom assistant with the Duke School for Children and was a student assistant with Duke’s Children’s Campus.

A member of the U.S. National Developmental team from 2004 to 2006, Huether also has experience coaching high school goalkeepers and working at a number of lacrosse camps, including Stanford Lacrosse Camp, the Bryn Mawr School Lacrosse Camp in Baltimore and the Between the Pipes Goalie Camp in Reisterstown, Md.

Huether is also currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Counseling at W&M.
