Head Coach Head Coach Kelley Hubbell Former College of Wooster field hockey and women’s lacrosse standout Kelley Hubbell became Wittenberg University’s field hockey head coach in April 2010. She has guided the Tigers to records of 30-25 overall and 23-16 in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) in her first three seasons, highlighted by a spectacular inaugural campaign with the Red & White. In her first season at the helm, Hubbell led the Tigers to an NCAC regular season championship with a program-best 11-1 record. Named NCAC Coach of the Year after the season, Hubbell guided Wittenberg to an overall mark of 15-4 after the Tigers lost a heartbreaking 4-3 decision in the NCAC Tournament championship game. Previously, Hubbell served as a graduate assistant coach at Ithaca, helping the Bombers to a 5-12 record in 2009, and served as head coach for Ithaca’s women’s lacrosse club team. This is Hubbell’s first full-time head coaching opportunity, although she did lead Wooster’s program on an interim basis from June 2008 through August 2009 while long-time Head Coach Brenda Meese took a sabbatical. Under Hubbell in 2008, the Scots captured the NCAC regular season title with an 11-1 record and added the first conference tournament title in program history. That year, Wooster made its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2001, finishing with a record of 16-6. In addition to her
coaching duties that year, Hubbell taught physical education classes, served as an advisor to two student organizations and performed a variety of other duties, including event management during the 2009 NCAC Swimming & Diving Championships. As an assistant field hockey and women’s lacrosse coach at Wooster from 2006-08, Hubbell helped guide the field hockey squad to back-to-back NCAC regular season titles, including a perfect 12-0 record in 2006. In women’s lacrosse, the 2007 team shared the NCAC regular season title and reached the NCAA Division III Tournament. As a collegiate player at Wooster, Hubbell earned All-NCAC honors in 2001 and 2004, capping her career with first-team All-Great Lakes Region and third-team All-America honors as a senior. A four-year starter on defense, Hubbell served as team captain in 2004 as well. Interestingly, during Hubbell’s four years as a Wooster field hockey standout, the Scots won two NCAC regular season titles and Wittenberg won the other two. The Tigers won the first three NCAC Tournament titles in 2002, 2003 and 2004, beating Wooster in the title game in 2002 and 2003. Hubbell was also a two-year starter on defense for the Wooster women’s lacrosse team. As a senior captain in 2005, she earned first-team All-NCAC and second-team All-West Region honors. Hubbell graduated from Wooster in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in history and a geology minor. As a senior, she was the university’s Maria Sexton Award recipient, which recognizes athletic leadership. Hubbell went on to earn a master’s in sports management from Ithaca in 2011.
Assistant Coach Jessica Kischko Jessica Kischko joined the Wittenberg coaching staff in August 2012. She serves as the assistant coach for both the field hockey and women’s lacrosse teams, in addition to her duties as the assistant to the director of athletics and recreation. Kischko came to Wittenberg from Ithaca College, where she served as assistant coach for the field hockey team during the 2011 season. She was involved in all aspects of the program, from planning practice sessions to recruiting to scouting. She took the lead in goalkeeper training.
Her first coaching experience came in 2010, when she worked at Oswego State University as assistant field hockey coach and assistant sports information director. She analyzed and developed team strategy, trained the team’s goalkeepers, participated in fundraising activities and performed various administrative tasks. Kischko played four years of collegiate field hockey at Elmira College, earning NFHCA All-Academic Team honors in 2008 and 2009 as well as the team’s Sportsmanship Award in 2009. As a team, Elmira ranked No. 1 in all of NCAA Division III in saves per game in 2009. Kischko, who was a player, team manager and student assistant coach for the Elmira women’s lacrosse team during her undergraduate career, earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2010. She also minored in sociology and earned a coaching certificate.

Statement of Responsibility for Balance Between Academics & Athletics
Wittenberg Athletics Philosophy
Student-athletes are primarily responsible for balancing academics and athletics. However, recognizing the pressure that studentathletes face from competing time demands placed upon them by both professors and coaches, we establish the following statement of responsibility. The statement assumes that the student’s primary responsibility is to academic coursework and that practice sessions are always subordinate to class attendance. Students should work with advisers to schedule courses so that practices and contests are not in conflict with academic courses. Student-athletes are expected to contact professors in advance in order to resolve conflicts between class attendance and participation in athletic contests. It is recommended that student-athletes miss not more than four sessions of any class in a semester for regular season athletic contests. Permission of a Faculty Athletic Representative is required before additional excused absences will be permitted. Coaches will, as necessary, establish and maintain communications with the professors of team athletes regarding academic progress. Professors should feel free to contact coaches regarding the academic responsibilities of student-athletes.
The Wittenberg Athletic Department is an integral part of the university that strives to achieve the same standards of excellence that exist within various academic disciplines at the university. Further, the athletic department embraces the concept that the student-athletes are first and foremost students, possessing individual rights, academic abilities, personal interests and ambitions comparable to those of other members of the general student body. Wittenberg University is committed to the principles and practices of amateurism, student-athlete welfare, gender equity, sportsmanship and fair play, cultural diversity and overall athletics excellence, and this commitment shall reflect in every aspect of the athletics departmental operations.
The North Coast Athletic Conference and Wittenberg University work together to encourage good sportsmanship on the court, on the field and in the stands. The Wittenberg Athletics Department expects all competitors and spectators to help maintain an open, accepting and competitive environment in order to promote positive, enjoyable experiences for all involved with Division III athletics.
