Teresa Mathews enters her first season back on staff in 2022 after coaching three seasons at Lehigh from 2014-16, including as graduate assistant coach.
Mathews comes to Lehigh after coaching the last four seasons at Northeastern, most recently helping the Huskies to the CAA Tournament in the fall of 2021 where they fell to top-seeded and 24th nationally-ranked James Madison, 2-1. In that game, goalkeeper Erin Savage made a career-high 14 saves. Among Mathews' primary responsibilities was goalkeeper training; while there, she also coached Julia Gluyas, who has experience with the New Zealand Under-19 national team and was an All-CAA honoree in 2018.
Â
During her time in Boston, Mathews helped the Huskies to three CAA Tournament appearances (2018, 2019 and 2021), including a trip to the championship game in 2019. Northeastern finished that season 11-8 and 3-3 in the conference, beating second-seeded and No. 23 ranked William & Mary in the semifinals before falling to top-seeded and 11th ranked Delaware in the title game by a slim 2-1 final. That season, the Huskies also earned a top 25 national ranking for the first time since 2014.
Â
Prior to Northeastern, Mathews served as top assistant at Saint Francis (Pa.) in 2017. The Red Flash finished the season 4-4 in the Atlantic 10. Mathews coached the goalkeepers, which included Elizabeth Dyer, who was a two-time All-Conference honoree in her career, once winning A-10 Goalkeeper of the Year.
Â
At Lehigh, Mathews served on the Mountain Hawks' staff for three seasons and four years (remaining on staff into the 2017 calendar year). She was a key glue between coaching staffs, and Dallmeyer's arrival on campus in 2016. During that 2016 season, Mathews coached the Lehigh goalkeepers, who allowed 46 goals – their fewest at the time since the 2004 season. The Mountain Hawks tallied three shutouts, also their most since '04, which included shutting out Patriot League opponents Holy Cross and Colgate in consecutive games – the first time in program history Lehigh had shut-out consecutive league opponents.
Â
Before Lehigh, Mathews was a standout goalkeeper at Monmouth. In her senior season of 2013, she shut-out Bryant and Sacred Heart. Mathews played in all 21 games as both a sophomore and junior. In her sophomore campaign, she compiled a stellar 74.8 save percentage and 1.69 GAA, recording her fourth shutout of the season in an NEC Semifinal win over Quinnipiac.
