Kyoungho Koh enters her second season as the head field hockey coach for the Wheelock Wildcats.

Koh took over the reigns of the program in August of 2008 and immediately guided the team to its first win in the newly formed New England Collegiate Conference, a 5-0 win over Bay Path College. A thrilling 3-2 victory over conference rival Elms College helped propel Wheelock to a 4-4 conference mark and an appearance in the NECC playoffs.

Under Koh, Wheelock tied for first in the NECC in defensive saves with 11 on the season. The Wildcats finished second in saves and assists and were third in goals scored. Freshman Kylie Hefford was named to the NECC All-Conference First team for defense and two players were named to the NECC All-Tournament Team.

Prior to arriving at Wheelock, Koh served as the head field hockey coach at Simmons College from 1993-1995 where her teams posted a winning percentage of .630 (29-17) with three consecutive invitations to the Massachusetts State Championships. After departing Simmons, Koh began to develop her work experience in higher education, non-profit, and corporate environments. During this time, she completed her Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology at Boston College while staying connected to field hockey as a volunteer assistant coach at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA and Union College in Schenectady, NY.

As a student, Koh played both field hockey and lacrosse at Division I Dartmouth College. In field hockey, Koh played on back-to-back Ivy Championship teams her junior and senior year, at which time she also received First Team All-Ivy honors. In her senior year, Koh was recognized as an All-American by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA). In lacrosse, Koh played goalkeeper on back-to-back Ivy Championship teams in her freshman and sophomore years.
