DAYTON – The University of Dayton women's soccer team is pleased to announce the hiring of a new assistant coach, Hailee Fischer on Wednesday, April 15.  

"We are incredibly excited to add Hailee to our coaching staff," said head coach Eric Golz. "She has a unique set of experiences and skills that will add some layers to our staff, and enhance our ability to create an elite developmental experience and environment for the women in our program. Hailee has played and coached at a high level, and has shown the humility and ambition to become a master of her craft. She will take on a large role in developing our goalkeepers and team defending, while serving as our recruiting coordinator. Hailee is an educator, a connector, and has an infectious energy that will immediately connect with both our current and future Flyers!"

Fischer spent her collegiate playing career at South Dakota State University, where she contributed to two NCAA tournament appearances, as well as two Summit League Conference championships.
