Melissa Rogers is proud to be in her second year as the owner and director of the All-Star Field Hockey Camp.  She is currently in her fourth season as the head field hockey coach at Springfield College.  After only four years as the coach of the Pride, Melissa Rogers, a native of Southwick, Mass., has continued the SC tradition of winning on the field hockey turf, posting an impressive 78-17 record to accumulate a winning percentage of 82%.

The 2007 squad finished the year with a staggering 21-4 record, tying a school record for most wins in a season. SC captured their fourth NEWMAC Conference Championship in a row. The Pride made it to the 'Elite Eight' of the NCAA Division III Tournament before falling one goal short of the 'Final Four'.

In her debut as head coach, Rogers led the Pride to a 19-4 record for which she was tabbed with both NEWMAC Coach of the Year and New England East Region Coach of the Year honors. Before taking the helm, Rogers served as an assistant coach under long-time head coach Dottie Zenaty for two seasons.  Prior to her tenure as a coach, Rogers enjoyed one of the most productive careers in SC field hockey history. She remains SC's second all-time leading scorer with 128 points (59 goals, 10 assists). As a senior team captain in 2001, Rogers was an NFHCA/STX First-Team All-American after leading all of Division III in goals (28), while finishing second in points (62). She was also the NEWMAC Player of the Year and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Co-Player of the Year in 2001.

Rogers' playing career coincided with an incredibly successful era in the program's history. A four-year letter winner from 1998 to 2001, she sparked the Pride to an 80-22 record (an average of 20 wins per season), two trips to the NCAA Division III Tournaments, and a pair of NEWMAC championships in 1999 and 2000. Rogers helped the Pride to the Division III national semifinals as a sophomore in 1999. In her junior season, she helped propel SC to the 2000 national championship match, where the Pride dropped a heartbreaking 1-0 decision to William Smith.

Rogers was awarded a bachelor's degree in sports management in 2002 and a master's degree in athletic administration in 2004. She currently serves as an assistant professor in the physical education department.
