Biography
“Linda Nixon is an outstanding example for successful high school field hockey coaches,” NHSCA executive director Bob Ferraro said. “They place a high value on the teamwork skills players learn for success in the classroom and on the field, and we are proud to be honoring her.”
A coaching veteran, Nixon led the Lady Raiders to a 17-4-2 record and the 2000 Pennsylvania District 1 Class AA title last season. This was quite a turnaround from the previous season when the team lost in the first round. Springfield Township also won the District 1 title in 1993.
On September 20, 2018, Springfield School District and the high school honored Coach Nixon in naming the field in her honor.
Nixon is a coaching veteran as she just completed for 51st season at Springfield.
