Biography
A 1987 Hotchkiss graduate who became the first girl to earn 12 varsity letters in three sports – field hockey, ice hockey and softball – at the school, Chandler, who still owns several of Hotchkiss’s softball records, has built its field hockey program into a Northeast powerhouse.
Last fall the Lady Bearcats finished 19-0 and won an unprecedented sixth consecutive New England Class A title while sweeping all three postseason tournaments, the Class A meet, the Western New England Championship and the Founders League Championship, for the second straight year and the fourth time in her career. In 11 seasons her teams own a record of 159-9-11 and have won seven Class A crowns, five Western New England crowns and nine Founders League crowns.
Chandler is the school’s co-athletic director and also serves as assistant ice hockey coach. The National Field Hockey Coaches Association voted Chandler its Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year the past three seasons.
