Morgan DeMann finished her second season as an associate head field hockey coach after being hired on March 14, 2024.

In 2025, the Dukes went 12-8 (6-3 MAC), with five players earning All-MAC honors and two named all-region. JMU notched its first top-10 win since 2008 with a 3-1 victory over No. 8 Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Dukes reached the Mid-American Conference Championship Semifinals, falling to top-seeded Miami (Ohio), 2-1. The team wrapped up the season 18th in the nation in goals per game (2.7), with Madelief Molier finishing 19th in Division I in goals per game (0.82).

In her first season in Harrisonburg, Coach DeMann helped lead the Dukes to a 14-6 (7-1 MAC) season that saw JMU tie for the regular-season title and finish runner-up at the conference tournament. Alice Roeper earned the Offensive MAC Player of the Year award as six Dukes earned all-conference honors, while Roeper, Skyler Brown and Cassidy Strittmatter all earned spots on the NFHCA All-South Region team.

DeMann joined the staff after spending the past three seasons as an assistant coach at Bates College. This past season, she helped guide the No. 7 Bobcats to its first NCAA tournament appearance, advancing to the second round.

The 2023 campaign saw Bates post a 9-0 home record, match the program record of 13 wins and win a program-best seven games against NESCAC competition, including the first win in a conference tournament game in team history.

In addition to her work with field hockey, DeMann served as an assistant strength & condition coach, creating programs for other varsity teams, including women's soccer and men's and women's nordic programs.

Other field hockey ventures include working for the WNY Field Hockey Club out of Binghamton, N.Y., coaching all ages at every position with a focus on goalie development. Additionally, DeMann has served as a coach for the Nexus Field Hockey program in New York and New Hampshire where she has observed and evaluated athletes.

Prior to Bates, DeMann was a defender for the Liberty Flames from 2011-12. She graduated from Liberty in December 2013 with a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies.
