Lancaster Bible College Athletics

Becky Elliott was named the head coach of the Lancaster Bible Field Hockey program in March of 2018. She will lead the program for the 2018 season and beyond, as the Chargers welcomed field hockey back into the mix of varsity sports after dropping it after the 1985 season.
 
Elliott, most recently an assistant coach at Lebanon Valley College from 2008 through the 2016 season, also coaches for the Alley Cats Club Field Hockey team in Palmyra, Pa. Elliott was a standout back for Lebanon Valley from 1994 to 1997, and helped the Dutchmen to three NCAA National Tournament berths, including back-to-back trips to the NCAA Division III Final Four in 1996 and 1997. For her efforts during the 1997 tournament, Elliott was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team.

As the leader of the LBC program, Elliott has a 4-17 record in conference play (NEAC/CSAC/United East) and the Chargers have collected 18 All-Conference selections. Coach Elliott also has one conference award as she was named CSAC Coach of the Year in 2019.
