Madison, N.J. (April 1)- FDU Devils Athletics and Director of Athletics Kristin Giotta are excited to announce the hiring of Jenny Carr, who will become the next Head Field Hockey Coach for the FDU-Florham Athletic Department. She becomes the eighth head coach in program history and will assume the role effectively immediately.
 
"Jenny is a proven recruiter, winner and an experienced head coach who has found success in her short time at division three." Giotta stated. "We are fortunate to have selected an individual who understands the recruiting landscape in the region, and we are confident she will solidify the foundation and continue to build upon the success of the field hockey program at FDU!"
 
Carr comes to FDU-Florham after spending six seasons as the Head Field Hockey Coach at Ramapo College where she saw plenty of success. In 2021, she guided the Roadrunners to their first NJAC postseason appearance and won the ECAC Championship in their most successful season in program history that ended with 15 wins. From the start of her time there to the end of her tenure, she increased the teams goal production by 430%.
 
Before her first Head Coaching position, she spent one season as the First Assistant Coach at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. There she helped guide the Lynx to a Southern Athletic Association (SAA) Championship after an undefeated conference slate and secured the field hockey team a spot in the NCAA Tournament. As the First Assistant Coach, she oversaw all team film responsibilities, came up with weekly evaluations for all players to help them improve and build confidence and was extremely active in the recruitment process and academic guidance.
 
Carr's first year of coaching collegiate field hockey was as a graduate assistant at Frostburg State, where she spent two seasons. During her time at Frostburg, she developed and administered drills to advance players' technical skills and strategy that adhered to the team philosophy. She also orchestrated individual sessions, administered academic meetings and participated in the entire recruitment process for the field hockey program.
 
Jenny is also active on the field hockey club scene as she is one of the head coaches of the Falcon Athletics Field Hockey Club Team. As a Head Coach for the Falcons Athletics Field Hockey Club Team, she has helped over 40 club athletes commit and play collegiate field hockey. She also works tirelessly training individual athletes and small group and runs the Revolution Field Hockey Camps in Mahwah and Lawrenceville.
 
Carr was a four-year varsity letterwinner for the Montclair State field hockey team. During her playing career, she became an NFHCA All-American, two-time NFHCA South Atlantic First Team All-Region, NJAC Midfielder of the Year, three-time First Team All-NJAC and four-time NFHCA Division III Academic Squad. She helped guide the Red Hawks to two NJAC Championships, three NCAA Tournament appearances and to the National Championship game in 2012. Carr also ranks third in career points in Montclair State program history.
 
"I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be the field hockey programs next head coach." Carr stated. "It excites me to step into a program with historic prominence within the MAC conference. After meeting with the team, it seems their goals align with mine. The end goal is to provide an opportunity for the team to experience post season field hockey and to compete for MAC, ECAC, and NCAA championships while encouraging a positive and supportive environment for them to grow as field hockey players and as young women. I want to thank Athletic Director Kristin Giotta and the entire search committee for seeing my vision and believing in my abilities to guide this program back to being a powerhouse within the MAC."
