Ashleigh Jacobs is in her second season as Head Coach of the Marist water polo team. In her first season with the Red Foxes, Jacobs led Marist to a program-record 27 wins and a second MAAC Water Polo League Championship and subsequent NCAA Tournament berth. Marist went 27-10 in 2008 and finished MAAC play undefeated at 10-0.
Before coming to Poughkeepsie, Jacobs had most recently served as a head coach of the United Water Polo Club and at Sammamish High School in the state of Washington. Jacobs led Sammamish High to a third-place finish in the state this past year, also earning Coach of the Year honors.
In addition to her coaching experience, Jacobs played in Australia, competing for the Cronulla Sharks of the National League from 2004-05. This followed a stellar playing career at Hartwick College, where she helped lead her squad to a fourth-place in the NCAA Tournament in 2004. That year, Jacobs also served as team captain and won the Northern League Most Valuable Player award as Hartwick took first place in the Eastern Championships. Hartwick also captured four consecutive CPWA Northern Division and Region titles in Jacobs' time there.
Jacobs graduated from Hartwick in 2004 with a B.A. in Business Management and a minor in Documentary Photography.
