Beth Riley, a four-year letterwinner at Michigan (2003-06), is entering her fourth season with the Owls as an assistant coach. Riley serves as the primary goalkeeper coach while also coordinating recruiting, travel and fundraising.
Under Riley's tutelage in 2007, goalkeeper Erin Hanshue made a career high 124 saves and a .805 save percentage, ending the season ranked third in the nation for save percentage and second in the Atlantic 10 for saves. In 2008, Hanshue made 102 saves with a save percentage of .680.
During the summer of 2009, Riley played for team New Jersey and coach Amanda Janney at the USFHA Women's National Championship, helping the team to place first.
Riley arrived on North Broad Street in 2007 after capturing two Big Ten Tournament crowns (2004-05) and appearing in three NCAA Tournaments (2003-05) with the Wolverines. The Palmyra, Pa. native is all-time leader as a goalkeeper in games played (79) and wins (57) while ranking in the top five in career saves (358), career shutouts (16) and career goals against average (1.34) at Michigan. Following her senior season, Riley was named Second Team All-Big Ten and Second Team NFHCA All-Region. The three-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honoree was named to the Conference's All-Tournament Team in 2005.
In three appearances in the NCAA Tournament with Riley in the cage, the Wolverines captured four wins and made a trip to the semifinals in 2003.
Riley graduated with a Bachelor's of Art degree in Sport Management in April 2007. The three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection (2004-06) and four-time Michigan Scholar-Athlete award-winner (2003-06), was twice recognized on the national stage with NFHCA All-Academic recognition (2003, '06). Additionally, Riley served as a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee representative.
Before arriving at Temple, Riley participated in three separate coaching stints with University of Michigan instructional camps (2004-2007), the United States Field Hockey Association (2005-07) and Shippensburg University instructional camps (2006-07).
As a goalkeeper coach with the USFHA Futures Program and at several camps, Riley worked with former and current college players and coaches in introducing and developing skills with prospective college players. Remaining active as player, Riley was a member of the Team Dita squad that captured the 2008 Big Apple Memorial Six-A-Side Championship as well as a member of the Mid-State squad that captured the 2008 Keystone State Games Indoor Championship.
