Megan Caveny was hired as Head Field Hockey Coach/Physical Education and Wellness Instructor at MIT in March 2026.
Caveny comes to MIT after four years as an assistant coach at Tufts. While on the Tufts coaching staff, Caveny was elevated to associate head coach during one of the most successful stretches in Jumbos program history, as Tufts claimed the 2025 National Championship and finished as the 2024 National Runner-Up finish.
At Tufts, Caveny’s primary focus was on attacking, where the Jumbos excelled and increased their goalscoring output from 2022-2025. Tufts finished tops in the NESCAC and 21st nationally in goals per game during the 2025 season. The Tufts' coaching staff has earned the last two NFHCA National and Regional Coaching Staff of the Year awards.
Caveny joined Tufts following two years as an assistant at NEWMAC rival Smith College, where she earned her Master’s of Science in Exercise and Sport Studies while helping to navigate the program through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and return to play.
Prior to her time in Northampton, Caveny was a volunteer assistant at SUNY Geneseo in 2019 as the Knights won the SUNYAC conference championship and finished the season with a 19-3 record while earning a top 20 Division III national ranking.
The all-time leading scorer for the Vassar College field hockey program with 111 points on 41 goals and 29 assists, Caveny enjoyed a standout four-year career with the Brewers, as Vassar won its first Liberty League conference championship during her senior season before advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Caveny was a team captain as a junior and a senior at Vassar before graduating in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology with a minor in sociology.
