During that time, Easton was consistently advancing to championship games and putting together valient challenges to the Emmaus dynasty.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Coming in as the head coach of the program, Cohen was excited and eager to bring that same culture of winning from her time at Easton to the Freedom program. She admits that she had very high expectations when she first took over the program and that 4-14 first season was a bit of a reality check, leading Cohen to think: \u201cthis might not happen overnight\u201d.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cohen immediately focused on changing the mindset. She stressed to players that they had the talent they needed to be competitive, but they first needed to believe that.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This came naturally to the coach, who shared that she spent much of her four years at Ohio State developing grit and building character. Cohen said that when she arrived in Columbus, she realized she was suddenly a \u201clittle fish in a big pond\u201d. She fought week after week to earn a spot on the travel squad, and she calls upon that experience of digging deep and working hard today as she works to build her program.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now, it certainly hasn\u2019t been all mindset. Cohen has worked tirelessly to develop her players from a skillset and experience perspective, all the while remaining focused on establishing a winning culture for the program. This ranges from everything from involving herself in local club field hockey organizations and encouraging her players to play in the offseason, to inviting middle school players to ball-girl at games.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cohen\u2019s involvement as a coach in the local club program, Phoenix Performance Academy, has created a bridge that provides an opportunity for her players to continue playing in the offseason.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cA good majority of the team has joined the club space and has been playing year-round, which is awesome to see,\u201d shared Cohen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cGirls getting the opportunity to play year round is important and a big part of the success.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.astound.com\/atvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90486 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.astound.com\/atvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" srcset=\"\/atvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3-300x156.jpg 300w, \/atvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3-1024x532.jpg 1024w, \/atvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3-768x399.jpg 768w, \/atvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3-1536x798.jpg 1536w, \/atvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3-624x324.jpg 624w, \/atvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Photo courtesy of Doris Pursell<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Not only that, but the offseason involvement has almost certainly contributed to players earning the opportunity to play at the college level.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This includes 2025 Freedom grad, Aly Laubach, who has continued her playing career at Mercyhurst. Cohen credits Laubach with contributing to turning the program around: \u201cShe just has that competitive edge and will to win. She was an amazing kid that everyone looked up to in a way that your program just feeds off those players\u201d.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition to Laubach, Cohen highlighted Carly Kuehner, who was a senior leader on the 2025 squad. Kuehner has committed to play at Franklin &amp; Marshall next year. Like Laubach, Cohen shared that Kuehner has a \u201cwant to win at all costs\u201d, and that mentality set a valuable example for her teammates.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cohen also offered praise to her coaching staff, many of whom have been by her side since she started at Freedom.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But they\u2019re not done yet. Cohen is focused on making earning a spot in the playoffs the standard for Freedom field hockey. As they move into offseason training and focus on development and rebuilding, she\u2019s not just looking to repeat the success, but to be even better next fall. She\u2019s looking to find ways to turn some of those close losses and ties into victories.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI just try to give them the tools and try to get them to believe in themselves.
