Coach Hollie Schleicher joins the Academy after spending the past three years coaching at the Division I level, including two seasons as an assistant coach at Boston University and one season at Cornell University.
During her time at Boston University, Coach Schleicher helped develop one of the Patriot League's top defensive units, as the Terriers ranked third in goals against average within their conference and ninth in ground balls per game nationally. She also played a key role in the development of First Team All-Patriot League midfielder Tessa Geddes, Second Team All-Patriot League defender Siri Hodgins, and Academic All-Patriot League goalkeeper Natalie Aiosa.
Before transitioning into coaching, Coach Schleicher was a standout defender at Boston College. She helped lead the Eagles to three consecutive NCAA Championship appearances, winning their first ever National Championship title in 2021. As a two-time team captain, three-time All-American, Academic All-American and two-time All-ACC selection, she also led the program to their first ACC Championship in 2023.
She is excited to bring her Division I on-field and coaching experience to the Academy and is passionate about helping student-athletes grow as players, teammates, and leaders.
