Edwards brings a decade of coaching experience to the Eagles' program. Most recently, he spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Indiana University. Since 2012, Edwards has also worked with USA Field Hockey as a coach and consultant with both the women's and men's programs at all age levels.
"We are extremely excited that Phil Edwards is joining our staff," Doton said. "Having worked with the USA men's and women's national teams, Phil's ability to evaluate and coach elite players in our country made him an obvious choice for Boston College. He has a long, successful coaching career, starting back in England, and will be a valuable asset to our program.
