Erica Walsh comes to Lehigh from Dartmouth College where she served as the team’s head coach for the past three seasons. While at Dartmouth, Walsh led the Big Green to a 37-15-2 overall record. Walsh was also very successful in Ivy League competition, posting a 16-4-1 mark, while leading the Big Green to two Ivy League titles, and three consecutive NCAA post-season berths. Walsh’s teams finished in the top 20 of the National Soccer Coaches Athletic Association poll during her first two seasons.
"We are fortunate to have Erica on staff here at Lehigh," said second year head coach Manny Oudin. "She has experienced a tremendous amount of success as the head coach at Dartmouth. She understands the demands of being a student-athlete at an institution that requires both a strong academic background as well as an athletic one."
Prior to serving as Dartmouth’s head coach, Walsh was an assistant for the Big Green from 1998-99. Before venturing north, to Hanover, New Hampshire, Walsh was a graduate student at Bucknell.
A former member of the under 17 national team, Walsh played collegiately at William & Mary. The Tribe finished in the top 15 nationally during her junior season and won the Colonial Athletic Association title. During her senior year, William & Mary had an even more impressive season, finishing 11th nationally and again won the CAA championship. Individual accomplishments for Walsh include having been named team MVP two consecutive years, a two-time All CAA player, and a Mid-Atlantic All Region selection as a senior.
