Christy Longacre announced the addition of
Liz Sack to the 2021 field hockey staff as an assistant coach. Sack comes to the Hilltop after eight seasons in Division I field hockey.
Sack joins the Georgetown staff after four years on the sideline at St. Joseph's University. With the Hawks, Sack helped guide the team to the first three NCAA Tournament berths in program history. The Hawks ended the 2018 season ranked 10th in the final NFHCA Coaches Poll, the highest ranking in program history.
As an assistant coach, Sack mentored six All-American athletes during her tenure and won three Atlantic 10 championships between 2017 and 2020.
At the end of her second year on Hawk Hill, Sack was selected to take part in the annual NCAA Women Coaches Academy. The Women Coaches Academy is a partnership between the WeCoach organization and the NCAA that promotes visible women in leadership positions.
Sack began coaching after a successful career as a student-athlete at Syracuse University. In her final three seasons with the Orange, Sack secured a regular spot in the lineup and scored 12 goals with 7 assists for a total of 31 career points.
Sack started in consecutive National Championship games for The Orange in 2014 and 2015. The team finished as the runners up in its first appearance with Sack on the pitch before taking home the championship in 2015. The Orange's 2015 national championship was the first national title in program history, and Sack made the first assist in the game. Sack is tied for first in program history with six goals in the NCAA tournament.
Originally from Havertown, Pennsylvania, Sack was named 2012 First Team All-State as a senior at Merion Mercy Academy.
