STORRS, Conn. - UConn head field hockey coach Paul Caddy has announced that two-time National Champion and former All-American Chrissy Davidson will return to the program as an assistant coach, pending the completion of the university's employee onboarding process.
Chrissy is a wonderful addition to our staff, said Caddy. "Her experience as a two time National Champion here at UConn, playing internationally as well as being a member of the USA National training squad is something that will enrich our program greatly. Chrissy is technically and tactically exceptional and will bring great energy and knowledge to our program. Chrissy's focus will mainly be developing the forwards and attacking midfielders in addition to technical development throughout the group."
Davidson earned 2014 All-America status during her senior campaign and represented the Huskies on the U.S. National team during her time in Storrs. The West Lawn, Pa. native was an All-Conference and All-Region selection during the Huskies' National Championship seasons.
Davidson totaled 37 assists and five goals in the 84 games she played at UConn.
"I truly have not stopped smiling. I am very honored and excited for the opportunity to be part of this program from a new perspective," said Davidson. "When I committed to UConn in February of 2010, I had no idea that this program would have such an impact on my life and truly shape me into the person I am today. UConn Field Hockey created an environment that allowed me to be a student of the game and ignited a desire to continuously learn, to ask the next question, and to share this knowledge and experience. UConn Field Hockey empowers you to better yourself on and off the field. By joining this coaching staff and working every day with the next generation of Huskies, I get to follow my passion and learn from some of the best coaches in this country. It is all the more special that I get to do this with my UConn Family. I couldn't be more excited to return home to the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex to help the program continue to reach new heights. I'm grateful and excited to be a part of the program that forever changed my life for the better."
After graduating from UConn ('15), Davidson worked one season as a volunteer coach at Temple University in 2016.
Since coaching at Temple, Davidson has worked multiple field hockey camps while getting her master's degree at Duquesne University. While acquiring her Master of Science, Speech Language Pathology, Davidson worked as an AAC Lab Student worker and a student research assistant.
