Merrimack saw tremendous growth during Tepper's first season on the sidelines with the Warriors.

She was an assistant coach at Roger Williams from 2018-2019 and most recently served as a field hockey assistant coach at West Chester from 2019 to 2021. While at West Chester, she was on the staff that was named the NFHCA Division II Coaching Staff of the Year and won a Division II national championship.

Her lacrosse coaching experience includes a trio of head coaching jobs with Oliver Ames High School in Easton, Mass., Laxachusetts Club Team in Braintree, Mass. and Outlaws Lacrosse in Foxboro, Mass.
