- Volunteer Assistant Coach
Sammi Steele joined the Duke field hockey coaching staff in the fall of 2021 as a volunteer assistant coach. She will work very closely with the goalkeeper group.Â
Steele, who graduated in 2020, was a veteran goalkeeper for the Blue Devils from 2016 to 2019. She started all 84 contests of her career, finishing with a 62-22 record and 25 shutouts. Steele ranks third in Duke history in career goals against average (1.32), fifth in saves (269) and 15th in save percentage (.706).
"I'm super excited to rejoin the team as a coach this time!" said Steele. "Knowing the team culture will be a definite advantage for me to be able to jump right into the role. I can't wait to be back and helping the program in a new way and I'm so excited to see what this season has in store!"
She was a three-time NFHCA All-Region First Team selection and earned All-ACC honors on three occasions, including first team in 2019. Steele was named the NFHCA National Defensive Player of the Week three times and was a four-time ACC Defensive Player of the Week honoree. A model student-athlete, Steele was a five-time member of the ACC Honor Roll while being named to the All-ACC Academic Team and NFHCA National Academic Squad four times.
Steele graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts in 2019 before earning her Master of Management in 2020. Since receiving her degrees, Steele has worked at Rewriting the Code in Durham.
