victories. SU was national semifinalists in 2000 and 2002 as well. Salisbury has

won 13 consecutive conference titles from 1995 until present. Chamberlin has
been honored by her peers as the CAC Coach of the Year 11 times.
Nationally, Chamberlin has been recognized as one of the

Field Hockey Coaches Association South Region Coach of the Year six different
times.

during her tenure. The program has produced 42 Division III All-Americans and 93
NFCHA All-South Region players. The Sea Gulls have also been honored with six
straight CAC Player of the Year awards, 11 overall in the past 12 years.

Iowa's co-captain as both a junior and senior, was also a member of the national
indoor championship team and was selected to the All-Big Ten team during her
senior year.
