Showcase Director
Jackie Cox enters her 15th year as head coach of Haverford College field hockey during the 2024 season. The winningest coach in program history, Cox has guided the Fords to a 133-101 record during her storied career. She reached her milestone 100th career victory during the 2019 season with a 3-2 win on the road against Eastern.
Cox’s teams have qualified for the Centennial Conference Tournament nine times during her tenure. This includes the Fords playing for the conference championship game during the 2010 and 2012 seasons. The Fords won a program-record 14 games during both of those seasons. In addition to her coaching responsibilities, Cox also assists all Haverford student-athletes as an assistant strength & conditioning coach within the athletic department.
Four players have been named NFHCA All-Americans under Cox’s guidance, including 2010 Centennial Conference Player of the Year. Most recently, one athlete was named All-America following a stellar senior campaign that saw the athlete capture Haverford’s Varsity Cup award.
Another athlete was additionally honored as Centennial Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year during her senior season and is one of 29 All-Centennial Conference honorees under Cox’s leadership. Her teams have also excelled in the classroom as the Fords have earned the NFHCA National Team Academic Award every year while Haverford has accounted for 215 selections to the NFHCA Academic Squad since the 2010 season, including nine Scholars of Distinction.
A member of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association, Cox came to Haverford after spending the previous four years as the top assistant coach at her alma mater, nearby St. Joseph’s University. Cox’s duties included overseeing the team’s strength and conditioning program as well as coordinating practices and recruiting. In Cox’s four seasons at St. Joseph’s, the Hawks were twice Atlantic 10 runners-up, earned one Philadelphia City Six title, and never finished below the top four in the A-10 conference. Cox began her coaching career at her high school alma mater, Episcopal Academy, where she assisted Gina Buggy, one of the most successful scholastic coaches in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
As a player, Cox earned a reputation as a gritty and scrappy defender for the Hawks. After playing her first two collegiate seasons at Lafayette, Cox transferred to SJU where she played in 35 games on Hawk Hill, making 21 starts. She was named the Defensive Player of the Year in 2005 and also received the team’s Vasquez Award for exemplifying the Jesuit value of being a “person for others.” In the summer of 2006, Cox represented the United States at the Maccabi Australia International Games in Sydney.

CAMP REVIEWS
“This showcase is one of the most interactive ones I’ve attended and the one-on-one exposure allowed me to work closely with the coaches on the day, listen to their feedback, and implement it into my game. I got to network with coaches from the top conferences at this level and I’m looking forward to what’s in store for my next 4 years of field hockey after high school!”
