Maggie Reddecliff

Maggie Reddecliff is the Assistant Field Hockey Coach at Dartmouth College.

Reddecliff joined the Big Green as the first assistant hired by new head coach Mark Egner in the spring of 2020. She enters her fourth year (third season) at Dartmouth in 2023.

Most recently in 2022, Reddecliff helped lead Dartmouth to strong early-season success, which included three straight wins from Sept. 9 to Sept. 18 — marking the program’s longest winning streak since 2017. It was the first time the Big Green won three straight in regulation since 2013. Dartmouth began the streak by beating Northeastern, 4-3, for the Big Green’s first win over the Huskies since 1987. The other wins came against Sacred Heart (4-2) and Merrimack (2-1).

Dartmouth lost each of its last five Ivy League games by a single goal — which included a 1-0 defeat at No. 8 Princeton and 3-2 loss vs. No. 15 Harvard — as the Big Green are inching closer to breaking through, and it’s showing in a number of ways. Seniors Hatley Post and Holley Cromwell earned Ivy League weekly awards in 2022, with Cromwell garnering Offensive Player of the Week following the weekend sweep of Northeastern and Sacred Heart. It was the first time since 2012 that two Big Green student-athletes received a weekly award during the same season.

At the end of the year, Cromwell and junior Bronwyn Bird were named second team All-Ivy while Post and freshman Olivia Galiotos garnered honorable mention laurels. The four recognized were the most for the Big Green since 2011. Bird was also named NFHCA second team All-Region.

Dartmouth made major strides offensively, scoring a goal in each of its first seven games of the season, its longest streak to begin a year since 2015. Against reigning Final Four qualifier Harvard, the Big Green scored twice, this against a Harvard team which entered the day second nationally in goals against average (0.79). Dartmouth would fight until the very end in 2022, scoring the equalizer with just 3:01 remaining in regulation to force overtime in the season finale against Penn. Defensively, the Big Green allowed just over two goals per game in Ivy League play. Allowing only 16 in total, that was eight fewer than any other year since 2015.

In 2021, the Big Green began the season with a 4-3 record. In her first game on the Dartmouth sidelines, Reddecliff helped the Big Green to a thrilling 2-1 shootout win at UC Davis. They also picked up home wins over Central Michigan (2-1), Bryant (2-1) and Merrimack (5-0). Bird was named second team All-Ivy while Meg Barnes received honorable mention.

In her first year of coaching in 2019, Reddecliff was part of a staff at Boston College that was voted as ‘Best in Northeast Region’ by NFHCA as they guided the Eagles to the program’s first-ever Final Four. During her time in Chestnut Hill, Reddecliff was responsible for coordinating travel and practices in addition to several other duties with day-to-day operations of the program.

As a member of the Buckeyes from 2013-16, Reddecliff appeared in 42 games in the midfield or on defense. In the classroom, she earned a spot on the Academic All-Big Ten team each season, while also tabbed as an NFHCA Scholar of Distinction and a member of the NFHCA National Academic Squad from 2013-15.

Reddecliff is a 2017 graduate of Ohio State with a degree in communications, who also earned a master’s degree in sports coaching from Ohio State in 2019.

A native of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, graduating from Susquehanna Township, Reddecliff currently holds a Level II coaching accreditation from USA Field Hockey.
