"I am thrilled for the opportunity to continue working with these student-athletes in my new capacity as head coach," said Dewdney. "Emily Rinde-Thorsen did a tremendous job getting the programs to where they are today. I look forward to building on past successes and to continue to emphasize a culture of hard work, confidence, teamwork, and personal growth."
Dewdney is no stranger to each program as she has been an assistant with the field hockey team since it was elevated to varsity status in 2011. She also has spent eight seasons as an assistant for the lacrosse team and was the head coach during the 2018 season as Rinde-Thorsen took a one-season sabbatical.
During the 2018 lacrosse season as the team's head coach, Dewdney was named North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Coach of the Year. She led the Chargers to a 10-6 overall record and a 5-2 mark in the conference to earn the second seed in the postseason tournament. The Chargers reached the championship game for the third time in program history. Dewdney coached the NAC Player of the Year (Nicole Lavigne), the NAC Rookie of the Year (Briana Couture) and the NAC Defensive Player of the Year (Kailyn Lapham).
"I am excited that Emily Dewdney has accepted our offer to lead the field hockey and lacrosse programs at Colby-Sawyer College," said Martin. "Having been a member of our staff for many years, and even serving as the lacrosse head coach in the past, we are fortunate to have someone as talented as Emily take over the leadership of the programs. Her enthusiasm, dedication and knowledge of both sports are evident when you watch Emily work with student-athletes. She is the perfect fit to continue the great momentum both programs have produced over the last several years."
