COACHING STAFF 

WHY I COACH ... 

“I am passionate about 

the sport and especially this 

program. I had an incredibly 

positive experience at Lehigh 

as a student-athlete playing 

both field hockey and lacrosse 

here and I want the 

current student-athletes to 

enjoy that same type of 

experience. I love working 

with women athletes who 

share the same priorities 

that I had in college, 

which were academics and 

athletics.”

HEAD COACH 

Liz Brode Ota 

Liz Brode Ota returns to her 

alma mater to begin her inaugural 

season as head women’s 

lacrosse coach at Lehigh. A 

former two-sport standout and 

All-American lacrosse player at 

Lehigh, Liz Ota returns to South

Harvard as an assistant, returns to

earning national acclaim. She 

was named as a two-time second

League’s Most Valuable Player as 

a senior in 1995. As a junior 

midfielder, she finished third in 

the nation in goals scored. Ota 

ranks second on the Lehigh alltime 

scoring list with 222 points. 

Her 166 career goals rank her

“Playing lacrosse at Lehigh was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. I 

loved going to play lacrosse everyday. I loved learning new concepts and new plays. I 

loved watching our team improve each year. Now as a high school lacrosse coach, I 

look forward to instilling in my players this same passion and enthusiasm for the game 

of lacrosse that Lehigh’s program instilled in me!” – Jill Altshuler ‘96 

“Having gone to Lehigh and having played under a great coach I feel very qualified 

and confident to be a head Varsity and JV coach at the high school level. I feel I have so 

much to offer my players because I played Division I Lacrosse. I find myself running 

the exact drills and plays as we did at Lehigh. I really enjoy teaching but absolutely love 

coaching.” – Elizabeth Brodbeck ‘98

New Coach, New 

Philosophy for Lehigh 

There’s a new coach and a new philosophy as the Lehigh Mountain 

Hawks get set to open the 2005 lacrosse season. Liz Brode Ota returns to her 

alma mater looking to bring stability to a program that 

went 5-10 a year ago and has had four head coaches in 

“ON THE AIR” four years. Ota’s team returns seven starters from a year 

ago and she expects a talented group of freshmen to 

make some immediate contributions. The first year 

coach hopes to bring a better conditioned and better 

prepared team to the turf at the Ulrich Sports Complex. 

“We are working to improve fitness and stick work 

and we will focus a great deal on strategy and planning 

for each competition,” Ota said. 

Lehigh’s attack should be solid as the Mountain 

Hawks return five of the top eight scorers from a year 

ago. Leading the way is Kellan Van Hoosen who netted 

14 goals a year ago. She will get help up front from 

sophomore Amy Chamberlain who started every game 

as a freshman and tallied double digits in goals. Senior 

Jen Fleming and Sophomore Elaine King also figure to 

contribute to the Mountain Hawks attack. 

In the midfield the Mountain Hawks return first team All-Patriot League 

performer Barrie Cominsky. The senior captain tied for the team lead with 25 

goals in 2004 and was second on the team with 35 points. Cominsky led the 

Mountain Hawks scooping up 39 ground balls last season; she will be 

counted upon to contribute on both the offensive and defensive ends. 

Joining Cominsky in the midfield is fellow senior Sarah Starsoneck, a 17 

goal scorer a year ago who led the Mountain Hawks with two game winning 

Lehigh is one of the few lacrosse programs 

in the nation to have regular 

game audio broadcast on the 

Internet. A broadcast schedule is 

available on the Lehigh web site at: 

www.lehighsportscom. 

Also available is the “Lehigh Sports 

Magazine Show” on DIRECTV. The 

Lehigh Sports Magazine Show is a 

weekly highlight programs that features 

all varsity sports. Shown regionally 

for nearly a decade, the 

show was recently picked up by Fox 

Sports Pittsburgh and DIRECTV 

satellite, providing access to Lehigh 

alumni, parents and fans across the 

nation. 


Junior defender Eileen Miller 

tallies. Sophomore Vienna Paharaon 

is also expected to contribute as will a 

young, talented freshmen corps that 

includes Christine Smith, Libby Gill 

and Kara Chalanick. 

Senior Co-Captain Kristen Sherry 

will be counted upon to anchor the 

defense. Sherry has started every game 

the last two seasons and has been 

extremely effective on the defensive 

end for Lehigh. Joining her on the 

backline is junior Eileen Miller. Last 

season Miller saw action in every 

game, picking up 25 ground balls on 

the season. She will be counted upon 

to solidify the Lehigh defense in 2005. 

In the goal cage the Mountain 

Hawks are solid with two-year starter 

Kyle Begina. The junior brings a .507 

save percentage to the table and has 

shown the ability to be one of the top 

netminders in the Patriot League. 

Freshman Brittany Besler is expected 

to contribute as the backup goaltender. 

Ota admits the Mountain Hawks 

are in somewhat of a rebuilding phase 

but she and her staff are working hard 

to enhance the program and return 

Lehigh lacrosse to the upper echelon 

of the Patriot League 

“With the coaching changes over 

the past few years, the program has 

not been able to grow and gain 

momentum,” Ota says. “I am hoping 

that with a consistent coaching staff 

and solid recruiting that we will 

improve our national ranking and our 

status in the Patriot League.”

Why Lehigh?: “I chose lehigh because it had all the aspects of college i was looking 

for. It has a great business program, Division 1 lacrosse, and is a prefect distance 

from my home on Long Island. The whole atmosphere seemed like a perfect fit for 

me..” 

On playing lacrosse at Lehigh: “My experience as part of the Lehigh lacrosse team 

has been one of the best in my life. We have developed a team bond that goes far 

beyond the lacorsse field. Not only do we work together on the field,but these girls 

are my best friends off it as well. We have had to make alot of adjustments with all 

of the coaching transitions over the years, and I think that has really helped us 

to take things upon ourselves and work together to reach our goals.”

balls…winner of Lehigh’s 2004 Most Improved Player Award… saw limited action

compiled by U.S. News & World Report. 

miles from 

Philadelphia in 

historic 

Bethlehem, Pa., a 

diverse community 

of 78,000. 

Bethlehem is part 

of the picturesque 

Lehigh 

Valley, where 

more than a halfmillion 

people 

enjoy a variety of 

cultural events, 

outstanding 

restaurants, and 

sources of 

entertainment, as 

well as close 

proximity to 

major East Coast

Challenging 

GREAT MINDS, INSPIRING GREAT IMAGINATIONS 

PERSONAL AND POWERFUL 

Lehigh University is the right size. It’s 

small enough to be personal, yet large 

enough to be powerful. We combine 

learning opportunities found at a larger 

research university with the personal 

attention of a smaller, private college. It 

is everything college is meant to be. 

OUR CAMPUS 

A mix of more than 100 historic and 

contemporary structures dots the 

wooded hillside of our Asa Packer 

Campus, one of three contiguous 

campuses on more than 1,600 acres. Our 

Mountaintop Campus provides teaching 

and research space principally for the 

biosciences and the College of Education. 

Our Murray H. Goodman Campus 

houses many of our athletics facilities. 

OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM 

Student life at Lehigh is as rich outside 

the classroom as it is inside, with more 

than 130 clubs, intramural sports teams, 

music and theatre programs, and Greek 

organizations, and volunteer organizations 

active on campus. Since these 

groups are often student-led, they 

provide a valuable opportunity to 

broaden leadership skills in preparation 

for life after Lehigh. And, as many of 

these organizations are student-created, 

there is no need to worry if you don’t see 

a favorite activity - just grab a few 

friends and launch the group yourselves! 

CULTURAL RICHNESS 

Mulicultural organizations take an active 

role on campus by hosting and participating 

in heritage celebrations, food and 

dance festivals, speakers, roundtable 

discussions, mentoring programs, career 

forums, and much more. Lehigh 

students also enjoy the opportunity to 

explore the diverse cultures of the world 

through both their fellow students, who 

come from more than 65 countries, and a 

variety of on-campus programming that 

deals with the political, economic, and 

social issues of the world today.
