CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In preparation for the 2024 campaign, Harvard field hockey has added Kiley Allen '23 to its coaching staff as a new assistant coach. A native of Berwyn, Pennsylvania, Allen was a staple of the Crimson field hockey program from 2018-22.

"We are very excited to have Kiley back at Harvard Field Hockey. It is really special to have an alumnae back in a coaching role," Head coach, The Ragatz Family Harvard Women's Coach of Excellence Tjerk van Herwaarden said. "She brings a special level of passion for this program and her genuine care for the people around make her a tremendous hire. As a former student athlete at Harvard she will be instrumental in supporting our athletes on and off the field. Besides her impact on the team Kiley will also be heavily involved with alumnae outreach, fundraising and our constant journey to build our strong program culture. We cannot wait for Kiley to get to Harvard and join the team again in her new role."

During her four-year career with the Crimson, Allen was a leader on and off the field. A team captain for the 2022 iteration of the Crimson, Allen logged 72 appearances in the midfield, starting in 67 matches. Across 2,801 minutes on the field, Allen provided 14 assists, scored three goals, and tallied 20 points. In 2019, Allen garnered All-Ivy League honorable mention status after scoring one goal and dishing out five assists in 17 appearances. Allen was also key part of a Crimson defense that led the nation in goals against average (0.44) in 2021.

A member of the Class of 2023, Allen graduated from Harvard with a bachelor's degree in psychology. Over the last year, Allen served as an enterprise sales development representative at ASAPP in New York.

Harvard field hockey returns to action this September as the defending Ivy League regular season and tournament champions, as the Crimson advanced all the way to the NCAA Quarterfinals.
