Meghan Gillis has been named coach of the Williams women’s program and will be the fourth leader in the last four seasons.<\/p>\n

Gillis, who spent the last two seasons at Pomfret (Conn.) School as an assistant director of admissions, head girls hockey coach, and assistant softball coach, succeeds interim coach Joey Lye.<\/p>\n

Lye was 4-17-1 in 2010-11. Marissa O’Neil was 12-11-2 in 2009-10 before taking over at Bowdoin, her alma mater. And Shannon Bryant wrapped up a three-year run with a 8-16-1 record in 2008-09.<\/p>\n

Gillis was the NESCAC rookie of the year at Bowdoin in 2004, when she scored 24 goals with 19 assists.<\/p>\n

“Meghan brings with her a strong hockey background, both as a player and as a coach,” Williams athletic director Lisa Melendy said in a statement. “Throughout the interview process the committee was impressed by Meghan’s evident love of hockey and coaching as well as her vision for the program.”<\/p>\n

Gillis led Pomfret to a 21-16-9 record in two seasons.<\/p>\n

“I am excited to be back in the NESCAC and to join the renowned Williams College athletic department,” Gillis said in a statement. “I am eager to work with a talented and driven group of student-athletes both on and off the ice.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
