PhilaFH Winning Coach of the Week: Radnor’s Katie Maguire

Fourteen in a row: that’s how many games the Radnor field hockey team has won this season — including two last week — under Coach Katie Maguire’s direction. Things weren’t always looking so promising for the Raiders; the team dropped the first three games of 2018… but it’s been all wins ever since.

Maguire also serves as an assistant lacrosse coach at Radnor — a legacy program that captured the state title in 2017. Now, in her third year, Maguire is elevating the field hockey program as a true contender in the robust Central League. The team fell to six-time undefeated Central League champion Conestoga early in the season 2-1; one might question how the Raiders would fare now with 14 wins on the board.

Last week, Maguire led the team to two wins over non-league opponent Prendie (6-1) and Upper Darby (6-0). It was the sixth shutout of the season. The team propelled to #1 in District One 2A power rankings — the highest under Maguire’s watch and best in recent program history.

But perhaps what makes Maguire particularly worthy of the honor is the incredible respect she’s earned from her players, each of whom nominated their coach praising her more for the attributes she brings to the program than the wins. The players acknowledge Maguire for her unmatched dedication to the program, ability to push them to greatness,  and positive outlook no matter the score.

Radnor’s players also wished the PhilaFH Winning Coach of the Week honor to be a surprise — a thank you for all that Maguire has done for the program and for them personally.
