Allyson Kenyon, Head Coach
 Allyson Kenyon begins her sixth year at the helm of the Bridgewater College field hockey team. Kenyon has steadily improved her win record over the past three seasons and has high expectations for her 2007 squad to continue the trend.
Kenyon, a native of Harrisburg, PA, attended Central Dauphin East High School where she participated in three varsity sports: Field Hockey, Swimming and Soccer. In 1996 she was named the school's Most Outstanding Female Athlete for her efforts on all three teams. She continued her athletic and academic career at Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA where she participated on both the field hockey and swim teams for all four years. She was a three time member of the National Field Hockey Coaches' Association's All-Academic Team and the Mid-Atlantic Conference All-Academic squads for both sports. Kenyon earned her Bachelor's Degree in Politics from Juniata in 2000.
Emphasizing academic excellence as well as teamwork and competitiveness, Kenyon has had 12 athletes receive NFHCA Division III All-Academic Team honors. She has also coached two all-conference first team selections, two all-conference second team players, and five all-conference honorable mention awardees.
Prior to her years at Bridgewater, Kenyon worked in Washington, D.C. for a non-profit organization. She also helped coach the inaugural season of the T.C. Williams Varsity Girls' Lacrosse team.
Kenyon currently resides in Harrisonburg, VA and also serves as the assistant lacrosse coach for Bridgewater College. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, kayaking, playing in the local recreational soccer league, and of course, playing field hockey and lacrosse every chance she gets.
