Emma Clark joined the Harvard women's soccer coaching staff as a volunteer assistant coach in February 2020 and will enter her third season with the Crimson in 2022-23.
 
Clark helped lead the Crimson to an at-large berth in the 2021 NCAA Championship as the program made its 17^th all-time NCAA appearance and gained its first at-large bid since 2004. The Crimson went 12-3-1 on the year and earned rankings as high as No. 4 in the NCAA RPI, No. 8 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll, and No. 16 in the United Soccer Coaches poll. Hannah Bebar collected both Third Team All-America and Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors. The Crimson totaled six All-Ivy selections and five Academic All-District choices. Harvard’s 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19.
 
Clark returned to New England after spending the 2019 season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for Seton Hall. In addition to overseeing all recruiting efforts for the Pirates, the Maine native also organized game-day operations, team warm-ups, and scouting data on opponents.
 
Prior to joining the Pirates staff, Clark spent three years at her alma mater, Boston University, where she began as an assistant coach and rose up the ranks to associate head coach. She was with a Terriers squad that won the Patriot League regular season and tournament championships in 2018 to secure the conference’s automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. In addition, Clark was a member of the staff that was named the 2018 Patriot League Coaching Staff of the Year.
 
After graduating from Boston University with a degree in communications in 2014, Clark spent two years as an assistant coach at Maine, while pursuing her Master of Science in human development.
 
A starting midfielder for the Terriers, Clark had an outstanding four-year career on the pitch. She was named to the Patriot League and America East all-conference teams, and the NSCAA All-Northeast Region Second Team, as well as earning 2012 America East Midfielder of the Year accolades. Off the field, she demonstrated excellent leadership earning the Aldo “Buff” Donelli Leadership Award.
