PRIOR TO GETTYSBURG

Dyer spent the previous six seasons on the field hockey staff at Division I Lehigh. No stranger to the Centennial Conference, Dyer spent the 2014 season as an assistant coach at Dickinson before rejoining the staff of her alma mater Tufts University in 2015.

Dyer remained in Medford as a graduate assistant for the 2012 and 2013 seasons, which included the program’s first national championship in 2012 and a 19-2 record.

She was reunited with her former mentor Caitlin Dallmeyer in 2016 when she joined the Lehigh staff as an assistant coach in 2016. Dyer coached with Dallmeyer at Dickinson in 2014.

In her six years at Lehigh, which included the last four as associate head coach, Dyer assisted with all aspects of the Mountain Hawks program, including helping guide the 2021 team to an 11-7 record and Patriot League semifinal appearance.

Dyer coached and mentored 15 All-Patriot League selections, including the Spring 2021 Goalkeeper of the Year and Fall 2021 Defensive Player of the Year to go with six all-region selections. The former standout defender has helped Lehigh record multiple shutouts in five of her six seasons in Bethlehem.

Her players at Lehigh also had success in the classroom with six players earning Academic All-Patriot League honors, 18 Zag/NFHCA Division I National Academic Squad selections, and three Scholars of Distinction.

Dyer twice served as interim head coach while Dallmeyer was on maternity leave, including serving as acting head coach for nine games during the 2019 season.
