SEWANEE, Tenn. - Sewanee field hockey coach Jen Baldaccini has been named the NFHCA Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year for her success in 2008, which was her first season on the Mountain.

"It is most gratifying to see that Coach Baldaccini has been recognized by her peers for her outstanding coaching and leadership by being selected as NFHCA Regional Coach of the Year in the Great Lakes Region," added Sewanee athletic director Mark Webb. "It's certainly a tribute to Jen and the team for her to be selected after capturing the conference championship and participating in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the program's history."

The 2008 Tigers won the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) championship, earned a spot in the NCAA Championships for the first time in school history and had four All-SCAC selections, including the co-Offensive Player of the Year and co-Defensive Player of the Year.

Coach Baldaccini lives in Sewanee with her husband, Marcus and came to the Mountain from New Jersey, where she was the head varsity coach at Henry Hudson School in Highlands.
