Amanda Janney Resigns as Head Coach of Temple Field Hockey
2.9.15 | Field Hockey
PHILADELPHIA – Amanda Janney, the head coach of the Temple field hockey program for the past 10 seasons, has resigned the position upon being named the head coach at Indiana University. Janney complied an overall record of 114-94 while at Temple, and guided the program to a national ranking for nearly every week of both the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
"Coach Janney did a tremendous job during her tenure here at Temple University and we wish her well at Indiana," said Temple University Vice President/Director of Athletics Kevin Clark. "We are confident that the program, which is coming off consecutive Top 20 seasons, will attract high quality candidates for the head coaching position to continue this level of success."
Janney led the Owls to an appearance in the 2014 BIG EAST Championship game where they fell to eventual national champion UConn. Temple earned a conference tournament berth in all 10 years of Janney's tenure. Under her tutelage, members of the Cherry and White have celebrated 49 all-conference accolades, 25 all-region honors, seven Player of the Year awards and four All-America honors.
Amber Youtz was named First Team All-America under Janney in 2014, becoming the first Temple field hockey player to earn first team honors in 22 years. She was also a two-time conference player of the year, including the 2014 BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year. Both Youtz and fellow senior Lizzy Millen were named to the 2014 All-Region First Team, and the pair were joined by senior Nicole Kroener on the BIG EAST First Team.
Janney's student-athletes have excelled in the classroom, and the team was recognized by the NCAA in 2010, 2011 and 2012 for its graduation rate which ranked among the top 10 percent of all field hockey teams in Division I. Three times in the last five years, a field hockey student-athlete has earned Temple's top honor of PNC Student-Athlete of the Year at Temple's annual Breakfast of Champions.
As a team in 2013, the Owls earned the highest GPA among Temple's women's sports with a 3.49. The Owls were also named a 2013 NFHCA Gladiator National Academic Squad and had 17 on their roster named to the NFHCA National Academic Squad with a GPA of 3.30 or higher.
Janney is a 1999 graduate of Wake Forest University where she had an illustrious playing career before moving into coaching. While at Temple, she has remained active in coaching in the USFHA Futures Program and the USFHA High Performance Programs. She has also been committed to growing the game among the Philadelphia youth, and in 2013 the Owls were selected by USA Field Hockey as a host for both the USFHA FUNdamental Field Hockey program and the You Go Girl program.
