Amy Fowler enters her 10th season as the head coach of the Dartmouth field hockey program.

In her nine previous seasons, Fowler has coached 11 players to first team All-Ivy honors with two All-Americans in the mix as well.

In 2004, Fowler became the third head coach in program history to record 50 career wins. Fowler led the Big Green to the ECAC tournament her first three seasons and currently holds a 75-83 record. Fowler has coached the program’s only two national All-America selections during her tenure at Dartmouth — Kirsten Anderson ’02 (third team) and Carolyn Steele ’03 (second team).

Fowler’s most successful season leading the Big Green was in 2001, where her team went 15-4 overall and finished second in the Ivy League with a 5-2 mark. Dartmouth would go on to win the ECAC tournament that year. Fowler also led the 2005 squad to a second-place in the Ivy League with another 5-2 record.

No stranger to Hanover, Fowler was an assistant at Dartmouth under Julie Dayton from 1994-96, during which time the Big Green compiled a 31-20 overall record. From 1996-99 Fowler assisted the James Madison University squad. She helped lead the Dukes to three straight second-place finishes in the Colonial Athletic Association and two trips to the NCAA tournament.

Fowler is actively involved with U.S. Field Hockey, having coached in all of the developmental programs sponsored by USA Field Hockey during the past several years. These programs include Futures, FDIC camp, Olympic Development Selection camps, a Futures Elite tour to Holland in 2003, NFC Selector, as well as coaching within the High Performance Training Center in New England.

She has maintained international exposure to the game by attending the Continental Course for High Level Field Hockey Coaching in Argentina (June 2005), in addition to completing an FIH National coaching course in Virginia Beach, Va. (July 2005).

Fowler is a graduate of the Women’s Coaches Academy and Dimension 2 program, both sponsored by the NCAA and the Winstar Foundation. In addition, Fowler was named president of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association in early 2005. She begans her second term as president in January 2008.

A 1993 graduate of Iowa, she was a three-time (1990-92) All-America sweeper for the Hawkeyes. Fowler was honored as all-region and first team All-Big Ten three times (1990-92), plus was the 1992 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.

Fowler played on four NCAA Tournament teams at Iowa (1989-92), including three Final Four squads (1989, 1990, 1992), and was a member of the Hawkeyes’ 1992 NCAA runner-up team. Fowler was twice named to the NCAA All-Tournament team (1990, 1992). She also won a gold medal at the 1991 U.S. Olympic Festival held in Los Angeles, Calif.

A native of Voorhees, N.J., Fowler holds a bachelor’s degree from Iowa in exercise science with an emphasis in athletic training.
