After years of being the opponent, Dresser will finally be on the home side of the field this fall, joining the Keene State field hockey team as an assistant coach. “I’ve been around the program since I was 10 years old, so I honored to be asked by Amy (Watson),” she said. 

Before KSC, Dresser’s played at Keene High, where she was named MVP of the field hockey team and was selected to play in the Twin State senior game. Dresser continued her playing career at New England College. Roaming the field as midfielder and forward, Dressler was a two-time All-Conference player for the Pilgrims and was named the Commonwealth Coast player of the year as a senior. Coached by KSC alum Susan Murray, Dresser captured four consecutive TCCC titles and NCAA tournament berths while she was there.

Dresser, who graduated from NEC with a physical education degree in 2009, spent a season working as a Pilgrim assistant before taking over as the head coach at John Stark Regional High School last year.
