App State field hockey interim head coach Emily Dinsmore was named head coach of the team Jan. 17 by Director of Athletics Doug Gillin.

“Emily has been a key member of the program since she arrived in Boone. She is a great competitor and recruiter, and her values align with App State Athletics’ core values,” Gillin said. “Her connections in the sport of field hockey and her leadership abilities have made her ready to be our next head coach.”

Dinsmore has been a part of the Mountaineers coaching staff since 2017 and was recently promoted to assistant head coach in the fall.

“App State has been my home for the past six years, and this team is my family,” Dinsmore said. “We have an incredible group of student-athletes, and it is a blessing to serve them on a daily basis.”

Dinsmore will take the reins of a Mountaineer team that reached the MAC final and a school record-tying 14 wins in the 2022 season.

“The future is bright, and it’s a great day to be a Mountaineer,” Dinsmore said.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in October 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
