Field Hockey: Former Shore coach has national wins record broken

By

Coach Nancy Williams retired after the 2013 season following 44 years at Shore.

At the time, her 839 wins were the most by any field hockey coach around the country. Over the course of the past season-plus, that record has stood. But on Wednesday night, the mark was broken.

Sue Butz-Stavin, who coaches at Emmaus (Pa.) eclipsed that number with a 15-0 victory on Wednesday.

Though she no longer holds the national record, Williams' impressive 839-67-56 record still puts her atop the state standings. Prior to leaving Shore, the coach also accumulated 43 consecutive divisional titles, 19 Shore Conference Tournament titles and 13 state championships.
