Julie Mazer is set to enter her seventh season as head coach at Lehigh, having led the Mountain Hawks to postseason appearances in three of the past five seasons. Mazer has instituted a high energy approach to coaching at Lehigh, which includes an up tempo and aggressive style of play on the field and a strenuous strength and conditioning program off of it. In six seasons, she has produced 17 All-Patriot League selections, including eight first-teamers; and two All-Region performers.

In 2007, Mazer guided the Mountain Hawks to eight victories and Lehigh’s best Patriot League finish in over a decade. Led by two-time All-Region selection Christy Smith, the 2007 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, Lehigh enjoyed its highest league finish in eleven years. The Mountain Hawks’ four All-League players in 2007 are tied for the most in school history.

In 2004, Mazer led Lehigh to its first Patriot League Tournament appearance since 1996, eight victories on their home turf, a remarkable 27 more goals than the previous year and the program’s highest goal total (49) since 1986.

The offense is the not only area that has picked up under Mazer, as the Mountain Hawks recorded the largest shut out victory in school history in 2004 with a 9-0 blanking of Robert Morris and produced all-league goal keeper Meghan Gove in 2005.

Mazer’s leadership and ability to motivate extends beyond the playing field, with 62 student-athletes having been named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll during her time on South Mountain, including senior Sheila Clabby, who was honored by the league as the 2004 Scholar Athlete of the Year.

In her inaugural season of 2003, Mazer guided Lehigh to three more victories than the year previous to her arrival and coached one All-Patriot League and All-Region selection in Blaire Goodwin.

Mazer, who is the sixth coach in Lehigh history, came to the Mountain Hawks after a successful run at Roanoke College in Virginia, where she enjoyed a great deal of success. As head coach of the Maroons, Mazer guided the team to its first ever Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2002, while also finishing at No. 19 in the national rankings. Mazer led Roanoke to the ODAC title game three times during her four years at the school, and produced a pair of All-Americans. Mazer doubled her duties, serving as the school’s head women’s lacrosse coach as well.
During the summer of 2001, Mazer picked up valuable international experience, serving as the US team’s head coach at the Maccabiah Games in Israel, and as the head coach of the team that represented the US at the Arafura Games in Australia. Prior to coaching at Roanoke, Mazer served as the associate head coach at Swarthmore College for both the field hockey and lacrosse programs. She also worked with the USFHA Futures Program after coaching lacrosse at Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.

As an assistant coach at William Smith in 1997, she helped guide the Herons to the 1997 Division III National Championship.
Mazer played both field hockey and lacrosse collegiately at West Chester University, graduating in 1994. As a senior she was an honorable mention to the USWLA Collegiate All-American team for lacrosse. Mazer resides in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
